Master Tongtian

Chapter 245 Young man, I’m betting on you (14)

Riverside Town, White Rock Castle, Hexagonal Hall.

As soon as he heard his daughter Lena Delin's words, Du Meng's beard, which was slightly messy from being slapped, twitched slightly, and half of the momentum he had just gathered was lost.

He muttered quickly: "Lily, what you said means that of course you are still my dear daughter."

Lena Delin angrily said: "But the eldest sister didn't do anything, the eldest brother-in-law even killed his younger brother, but you still have to protect him!"

"My husband and I just want to do some business with Master Rosen to make some money to support our family, but you still want to make trouble for us!"

"Father, you are so partial!"

"Uh~~~"

Du Meng fidgeted awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to his daughter's question.

To be honest, he felt guilty for Lena Delin, his second daughter, because the husband she married was unreliable and only used money to support his younger sister.

This resulted in them living in a dark, damp and narrow old-fashioned castle, and their lives were very difficult.

Of course, this 'financial situation' is compared to other lords.

Vivian also said: "Old sir, if you ask me, you should not support Fubos, but support Chabolais!"

When she said this, Du Meng immediately found a way to fight back.

He glared at Vivian angrily: "My Lily is not having a good life, and it's not because of..."

Vivian immediately stopped him. She looked aggrieved, her mouth tightened, and she began to complain.

"Old sir, I realize that you are very ruthless. I just applied medicine to you to relieve the pain, and now you are glaring at me!"

'Uh~~'

Du Meng's newly built up momentum was exhausted again. He raised his hand to touch his face that was almost swollen, and gave a dry laugh.

"Of course I appreciate your love, but what you have done over the years is really outrageous."

"Yes, I admit it's outrageous, but tell me, every time you ask me to buy medicine, when do I not sell it to you cheaply? When don't I always give you the best medicine?"

"Well~ that's right."

When Lenadelin heard this, she felt worried.

"Buy medicine? Father, are you sick? Is it serious?"

When asked by his daughter, Du Meng suddenly showed an extremely embarrassed look on his face. His cheeks twitched slightly uncontrollably, and it seemed that even his teeth began to hurt.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Lidelina couldn't sit still, so she stood up and walked to her father, reaching out and patting her father's back gently.

"Father, you are coughing so much. Is there something wrong with your lungs?"

"Ahem~~Ahem~Yes~Father, my lungs have not been very good these years, and I can't help but cough."

"Is that serious?"

Feeling his daughter's heartfelt concern, Du Meng felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"The second daughter is more considerate. Since the eldest daughter married Fubos, she is arrogant every time she comes home and wants to step on my father's head."

So, he softened his tone and comforted his daughter slowly.

"I went to the temple to see it. The priest said that it's not a serious illness. It's nothing serious. I just coughed and couldn't sleep."

"Vivian happened to have medicine for treating coughs, so I bought some from her, and the effect was really good. After drinking it, I stopped coughing and slept comfortably."

As he spoke, he winked at Vivian repeatedly to signal her to stop talking nonsense.

Vivian shrugged, with a threatening expression on her face that said if you don't cooperate, I won't either.

Du Meng had a bitter look on his face. He gritted his teeth and gave up. He reached out to grab his daughter's hand and sighed.

"Lily~ Let me tell you the truth, I'm not sick. The medicine I bought wasn't a cough medicine."

Lena Delin was startled: "Ah, what kind of medicine is that?"

Vivian was also startled, and was greatly surprised: "This old man wants to save face so much, but he can risk everything. I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Fubos gave him."

She knew that her coercion method was ineffective, so she immediately helped to smooth things over.

"Actually, it's a medicine to strengthen your body. The old gentleman is getting older and his energy is not as good as before. He always likes to sleep, so he came to me to buy medicine to refresh himself."

"It doesn't have much use, it just makes the body stronger and more energetic."

Lidelina was dubious: "Father, is it true?"

Du Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Vivian gratefully, nodded and said, "What Vivian said is right, that's it."

"Your father and I are just old. I can drink some medicine to replenish my health. It won't be a big deal."

Lidelina looked at her father's face carefully and saw that his eyes were bright, his face was rosy, and his figure was still tall and strong. He did not look like he was seriously ill. Then she was completely relieved and returned to her seat.

As a result, Vivian's offensive was temporarily defeated.

Without the threat, Du Meng's thinking became clearer.

He said softly to his daughter: "Lily, father still loves you and knows that your family is in financial difficulty."

"Well, when you go back this time, father will prepare a generous gift for you, so that you don't have to worry about money for several years."

"When this incident is over and Vobos becomes count, things will get better."

After her father said this, Lenadelin opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of anything to say.

As a result, the law of family love also failed.

As for Baron Moreau, he had no other options, so the task of persuasion finally returned to Rosen.

Rosen smiled and started with a trick.

He took out an arcane coin and threw it to Baron Dumont: "Old sir, what is this?"

Du Meng took a look at it and was shocked, his eyes widened.

"Arcana coins from the Eastern Territory? Is your business in the Eastern Territory so big?"

He also has some business in the East. Well, it's not actually a business. He just bought a few properties and rented them out to collect rent.

It has been almost 20 years since I bought the house. I still haven’t made back the money I paid for the house. I feel like I have been taken advantage of and bought a house for free for people in the East.

It's not that he doesn't want to do serious business, but the people in the East are as shrewd as fairies. After losing a few times, his claws are numb.

Now, in a field that was beyond his reach and that he desperately wanted to join, Rosen had made great achievements that he could not even imagine, which made him feel very envious and at the same time sincerely admired.

Of course, there is also a lot of jealousy.

Rosen carefully observed Du Meng's expression, and after combining it with Patsy's information, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.

He smiled slightly: "Old sir, my business is bigger than you think, because the person who gave me the Austrian gold coins is the third daughter of the Duke of Storms, Princess Heya Jiali."

Du Meng was shocked: "It's actually her?"

Rosen smiled.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess gave me a bag of arcane coins and stated that she would like to cooperate for a long time in the future. If I do a good job, the trade volume may reach 500,000 crowns that year."

If you're bragging, it's natural to exaggerate. Du Meng can't confirm it anyway.

Du Meng was shocked again: "Five hundred thousand kronor?! What did you buy from you?"

His annual income from the territory is only 60,000 crowns, but the other party can increase his income more than ten times. This is really enviable.

"That's a lot of things. The main one is to buy the petrified staff I made so that I can take it back to the East to build a house."

Du Meng didn't quite understand: "Petrified staff? Build a house?"

Lenadelin immediately explained carefully to her father.

But having said that, she was actually a little confused, because hadn't the petrification technique just been invented?

How could he be recognized by the Princess of the East in one fell swoop and achieve a trade volume of 500,000 crowns a year?

But if you don't believe it, Rosen said it very seriously, and it's true that not everyone takes out these arcane coins. They are usually used by big nobles such as dukes and marquises.

After she finished explaining, Du Meng immediately realized the effect of this petrified architecture technique on him.

"Can your petrification technique be used to build a dam?"

"Of course it works."

"Hmm~ That's really good stuff. Good stuff."

He secretly made up his mind and planned to quietly send someone to Crescent Town to steal one back, and then find the weapon refiner to crack it and use it for his own use.

Rosen was very aware of his thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Old sir, my petrification technique has set up my own unique magic lock. It is very difficult to crack. Even Her Royal Highness can't do it. You praise me for the power of this magic lock."

Du Meng was shocked: "No way, even the princess can't crack it?"

The princess has more magicians than the sheep he raises.

There was nothing the princess could do, and it was certainly useless for him.

Rosen nodded: "Do you think that if the princess could crack the code, she would give me 500,000 kroner a year? This is 500,000 kronor, not 50,000!"

This makes sense.

Rosen smiled and said: "You must think I'm lying, but let me tell you the truth. In this petrification technique, I applied a lot of my unique and profound fluidity techniques. And in terms of fluidity, I am absolutely the best in the Golden Land. At the second level.”

"The first two, which one is the other one?"

Du Meng suddenly had a glimmer of hope and decided to find a way to invite the second master of Liushu to help.

"Of course it's my wife who created the relationship with me."

Du Meng's new hope was completely extinguished.

But after being a lord for so many years, he is not that easy to deceive.

He thought this was incredible. It was most likely Rosen who made it up to fool him.

Seeing his suspicious eyes, Rosen immediately took out the second killer weapon he had prepared.

"Oh, by the way, the princess asked me to draw a custom painting for her, saying it would be displayed at the birthday party."

While talking, Rosen took out a photo of the princess riding a horse from his pocket.

"It's human nature for you to doubt my words. But this unique magic photo of the Eastern Territory is enough to prove the authenticity of my words."

He handed the photo album to Du Meng.

Du Meng took it and looked at it, and couldn't move his eyes away. He looked at it for three minutes before sighing.

"As expected of the princess of the East, with such style, such style, such appearance, such posture. Tsk tsk tsk~~ tsk tsk tsk tsk~"

He was speechless, making the others very curious.

So, the Moreaus and Vivian all got up to look at the photo in Du Meng's hand.

After taking one look, Lord Moro praised: "Sure enough, Her Royal Highness is the only one to have such grace. Mortals like us can't compare to her."

Lidelina and Vivian didn't say anything, but their eyes were fixed on the painting and they couldn't move away. It was obvious that they were greatly attracted by the person in the painting.

Only then did Rosen get to the point.

"Old sir, my business with the Princess of the Eastern Territory will only get bigger and bigger, and the supplies I purchased from the Eastern Territory pass through your territory, and you will naturally benefit greatly."

"Of course you can find ways to obstruct it for Fubos, but please think about how much benefit Fubos's temperament can bring to the Dumont family?"

"Please also think about it, if you have the support of my petrified architecture technology, how much loss will be reduced due to flooding in your territory?"

"Finally, I heard that you have many children, and your fifth daughter, Cassandrine, is not yet married. Why can't you marry this youngest daughter to Chapollet?"

"After all, Chabolais hasn't married yet."

"In this way, no matter who comes to power, the Du Meng family will prosper, right?"

After speaking on the phone, Baron Dumont was greatly moved.

His thick beard trembled and his eyes turned, showing his agitated mood.

After a while, his eyes focused on Rosen again, but his face was already full of emotion.

"Master Rosen, I have to say, you are really sharp and you almost convinced me."

But then he let out a long sigh: "Then let me tell you something, as long as Xia Bo Lai is willing to marry Cassandrine, I will fully support him!"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I have always heard that the old gentleman's five daughters are as beautiful as fairies in the sky. As long as the old gentleman is willing to marry his daughter, Xia Bolai will definitely jump to the sky with joy. There will be no reason to refuse."

"I'm not afraid of Chaballet's rejection, I'm afraid that the count will be unhappy."

As the lord of the highlands, the earl must coordinate the interests of the major families. It is basically impossible for two Omisian children to marry the daughter of the same family.

But Rosen also had a way to get around the count's obstruction.

He immediately gave a solution.

"This is indeed a problem, but you can boil the raw potatoes first and then let the earl nod."

"How to cook it?"

"For example, if you give Charbolet a child first, then the count will have to nod even if you don't."

It's okay for Chapollet to make an ordinary girl's belly bigger, it's nothing more than an illegitimate child.

If you mess with the eldest baron's daughter's belly, you must give an explanation!

"."

The nobles in the Hexagonal Hall were dumbfounded. Isn't this a despicable and rogue method?

This is too shameful!

Rosen spread his hands: "It's a bit despicable, but it's definitely effective, isn't it?"

Lord Moro hesitated: "This, this."

I didn't say anything for a long time, feeling that this was outrageous, but it could indeed be done.

Rosen saw that everyone couldn't accept it, and knowing that this matter greatly challenged tradition, he immediately changed his statement to an elegant one.

He described slowly in a soft and gentle voice.

"On a sunny afternoon, two young people met unexpectedly in the garden. Their eyes met and they fell in love at first sight. They thought each other was their soul mate for life."

"Then love blossomed, I couldn't help it, and the crystallization of life was accidentally condensed. Although it was against etiquette, it was still a romantic story."

"Even a god would not have the heart to break up this couple, let alone a count?"

"Am I right, old gentleman?"

Du Meng immediately looked at Rosen with admiration.

"You are really good, no wonder you can do such a big business with the people from the East! Because of your quick brain, I will bet on you."

"You ask Chabolai to come to my territory, and I will arrange for him to meet my daughter."

Rosen immediately suggested: "It is better to go to Fanggu Town of Lord Moreau, just to visit my sister, and Xia Bolay also happens to be visiting Lord Moreau."

"Well, this is indeed more reasonable, so I'll do as you say."

Four updates today. Until the end of the month.

PS: Recommend a friend’s book, Chuangshiliu.
