Chapter 8 Moore's trump card

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 7
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.Jiang Shuihan made money from her sister, not only did she feel comfortable physically and mentally, but her accumulated lustful divine power also steadily increased, but Duke Moore was in miserable.

The hundreds of tribes in the South China Sea followed the order of Jiang Shuihan and did not trade with any merchants from the Emerald City. Moreover, under the leadership of Solancome, the masters of the Mermaid clan secretly controlled the warcraft in the sea to attack the merchant fleet that was dependent on Duke Moore, completely cutting off the route between the Emerald City and the Eastern Continent.

Jade City is the largest harbor city in the southern province. It loses sea income and tax revenues are greatly reduced, Jade City loses its original vitality and the city gradually declining.

Duke Moore's head also had much more white hair than a few years ago. How could he not worry?

Xiao Xiami, who was originally despised, has grown into a young overlord who has left him helpless. Now he is attacking Emerald City in commercial terms, forcing him to start a decisive battle with Marquis Ross as soon as possible, intending to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and after both of them are both defeated, they will send troops to seize the hegemony of the southern provinces.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor chose the assembly place of the trialists in Blackstone City, and the arrival of a large number of outsiders, especially the children of the nobles, made this ordinary inland city extremely prosperous. Marquis Ross made money and quickly accumulated a huge military expenditure that could maintain a medium-strength war.

I haven't lost yet!Duke Moore stared at the bay in the distance through the window and murmured to himself. What if he refused to give up?

He could clearly see here that there were more than half of the fewer ships docked in the port than a year ago. If the route to the Desert Kingdom was not maintained, he would have really been unable to hold on!

Now he felt like a wounded tiger, and the wound was bleeding. If he could not find a way to block the wound, then he could only defeat the enemy before the blood was exhausted, otherwise what would await him would be death!

Sir, the guest you invited has arrived!The sound of guards suddenly came from the magic messenger.

Invite them in!

Duke Moore took a long breath, and the loneliness on his face swept away, as if he had instantly transformed into an elderly wise man who could solve any problem.

There were more than one guest. Duke Moore intended to let them meet, but met them one by one, because these people were both partners and competitors in the next action.

The first person to enter the study to see Duke Moore was an elderly woman who looked at least one hundred years old, leaning on a curved black wooden stick in her hand, and there was no muscle on her shriveled face, only thin skin left, which seemed to be a living skull at first glance.

What is most terrifying is that there is no eyeball in her eyes, but two red crystal balls the size of a thumb are embedded in it. Even if it emits blood in the daytime, it is like an evil ghost coming to the world, which is terrifying and terrifying.

Lord Duke, I didn’t expect that after more than twenty years, you still remember the little favor I owe you!Humph, don’t be polite to me. After I finish this matter for you, I will be prepared to throw away this body and completely transform it into a ghost body!Although the guards prepared seats for the old woman as Duke Moore's instructions, the old woman was not grateful at all and stood there tremblingly, waiting for the other party to answer her questions.

Don’t look at this old woman, she seems to be weak. In fact, she is the chief guest elder of the Blind Girl Assassination Group under the Assassinator Guild and a ghost witch with the strength of the heavenly rank. There are no numbers of masters who die at her hands.

Duke Moore by chance made this hidden strong man owe him a favor. Now he was forced by Jiang Shuihan to have no choice. He couldn't wait until the day of the decisive battle with Marquis Ross, he began to open the hidden trump cards.

Miss Jim, thank you for remembering the promise you made back then. Please be patient and let me explain what I want to ask for clearly...

Duke Moore is a hero after all, and even if he asks for help, he still looks calm.

As for his call to this old lady Miss Jim, it was because the other party was unmarried for life. In fact, if he had not felt that he had been in a very embarrassing situation, he would not be willing to provoke this very bad-tempered old virgin!

It’s really long-lasting. Isn’t it just killing a young nobleman named Jiang Shuihan?OK, I will make him a mummy and give it to you as a funeral object. I really hope that you noble idiots will die together!

Duke Moore's intelligence is very detailed. Any assassin organization would thank its customers for providing so much information.

However, the old woman named Jim was not grateful. Her face was smelly, and she muttered and cursed Duke Moore and Jiang Shuihan, leaving the Duke's Mansion as fast as possible.

Humph, if you underestimate Jiang Xiaogou, you will be like the end of the Witch Scynon, and you will be in a state of scattered spirits!Duke Moore was secretly annoyed, but he didn't want to turn against each other on the spot. In fact, he was already very grateful that the old woman could fulfill her promise.

Next, Duke Moore met with several mysterious guests with strong bloody smells, but these people were not as easy to deal with as the old woman. I don’t know how much of the property in the Duke’s treasure house was moved away.

As long as you can kill Jiang Shuihan, all your efforts are worth it!

Duke Moore is becoming more and more fond of talking to himself. This may be a common problem for older people. They can only gain the same confidence as young people through self-suggestion.

Negotiating with many kings in the dark is a very hard thing, but Duke Moore can't go to bed and rest. He took a rest in the lounge chair for half an hour and welcomed the most important guest tonight.

This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He wore a noble top hat, a black Yàn tuxedo, and held a black cane that could be used as a protective weapon in his hand. He didn't look like a big man, and no one could distinguish him from the common aristocrats on the street.

But after seeing this man walking into the study, Duke Moore stood up from behind the desk and greeted the man.

Mosa, I’m sorry for you to travel thousands of miles from the imperial capital to the southern province. It’s so hard!

Duke Moore hugged the middle-aged man with a smile on his face and patted him on the back, looking very intimate.

The middle-aged man named Mosa was also quite excited, and opened his arms to hug Duke Moore and said: Moore, I haven't seen you for many years, and your appearance has changed a lot!

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, then walked into the small living room next to the study and started a secret conversation.Even the illegitimate son, Naha, the Duke of Moore's most trusted illegitimate son, had no chance to hear what they were discussing.

The small living room next to the study was originally a place where Duke Moore was illusory. The lights were dim and deep, and it shone on the two people. The black shadows cast on the ground seemed particularly mysterious.

Duke Moore lowered his voice when Mosa sat opposite him, and couldn't wait to tell the other party about a secret information he had learned, that is, the relationship between Jiang Shuihan and the newly emerging secret organization of the southern provinces.

What?Jiang Shuihan is the president of the Skeleton Society, and he is also trying to win the title of trial champion?Mosa suddenly stood up, unable to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said sternly: Why didn’t you report such important information to the higher authorities earlier!

Duke Moore's face changed and he said in a deep voice, are you blaming me?If you were in my position, could you do better than me?

Mosa looked at the anger in Duke Moore's eyes, and thought that the other party was also a powerful figure who should not be underestimated in the organization, and he was shocked and quickly explained: You know that I don't mean this. I am worried that you will lose the attention and support of the organization, and even lose the power you have now!

Duke Moore snorted coldly: People who play chess only care about the final outcome. If a piece loses its effect, it will of course be treated as a discarded piece. I asked myself that it has not reached that level of insignificance!

Mosa looked embarrassed and drank a sip of tea: But if Jiang Shuihan really explored the final mystery of the trial field, the hard work we organized over a hundred years of organization will turn into a bubble, and you will no longer be able to kill him!

Duke Moore sighed and said in a daze: It's Ah. I really underestimated him at the beginning, thinking that a passionate young man like him would sooner or later die on the iron plate, but he was like being guided by the goddess of luck. Every time he faced difficulties, overcome all obstacles, and was invincible. No matter what kind of powerful opponent, he melted quickly in front of him like the ice and snow of summer. Even the mysterious ancient ruins trial site would probably become a treasure paradise he plundered...

Mosa asked with a gloomy face: Moore, have you lost your confidence?

Duke Moore looked at Mosa and sighed with a desolate expression: That has nothing to do with confidence, it is just a feeling. After all, when people still encounter such a difficult young enemy in their twilight years, how can they not feel depressed?However, no matter how bad the mood is, I will not let him grow his power smoothly. Before seeing you, I have already recruited several experts from the Heavenly Level who have been hiding for many years and asked them to set up an ambush at the Desert Kingdom trial ground to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Jiang Shuihan!

Mosa smiled casually: Jiang Shuihan is so arrogant. He is not satisfied with his current power. He actually wants to use the royal trial to enter the circle of powerful people in the imperial capital!Greed is the original sin that gods hate. His good luck will always be used up. I think your operation will be successful. When he dies tragically in the trial field, your fleet can land from the sea, capture the city of Gordoro in one fell swoop, and then attack the north and south against the Marquis of Ross!

Duke Moore nodded and said with a depressed expression: It is the distant covenant relationship between Marquis Ross and Jiang Shuihan that makes me feel extremely stressed. After the trial is over, if the two of them join forces to deal with me, I will definitely lose!

Mosa nodded with a deep feeling: Yes, even if it angers His Majesty the Emperor because of disrupting the trial order, you must find a way to kill Jiang Shuihan. Otherwise, once the army and territory are lost, the throne of duke granted to you by His Majesty the Emperor will have no value!

Duke Moore sneered again: His Majesty’s power skills are not something we can see. It is really amazing to see that he used only one trial order to make the situation in the southern provinces mess up.

Mosa waved his hand helplessly: Moore, you are not a child anymore. No matter how you complain, you can't do anything to the Emperor. It's better to think more about the changes in the future. For example, if Jiang Shuihan cannot be killed, what should he do with Marquis Ross to deal with you?

Duke Moore breathed heavily and gasped forcibly suppressed his anger: I have sent out all the people I could draw, and the rest have to prepare to deal with the masters of Marquis Ross. If Jiang Shuihan was not killed by the killer I sent, I would have to pay a higher price than Marquis Ross to buy him!

A cunning smile appeared on the corner of Mosa's mouth: How much does it cost to buy an enemy?Can't Marquis Ross give him what you can give him?

Duke Moore's drooping eyes blocked a fleeting light. He was waiting for this critical moment tonight: At most, I will give him half of the territory of Marquis Ross... Do you have a better idea?

Mosa coughed dryly and said: Although I don’t have an army in my hands, there are still a few heavenly masters who obey me. If I am willing to mobilize them to help you, how can you repay me?

Duke Moore laughed: You are such a smart guy. You actually chose to ask for help at this time. I think the commission will definitely not be cheap!

Mosa touched his beard complacently, and did not speak anymore, but just waited patiently for Duke Moore to offer a price tag that satisfies him.

What if you give you the Scorpion Shield Territory and the Flower Castle?Duke Moore carefully tempted that Mosa would not lack money and power. The only thing that could be moved by is the territory Mosa shook his head: Mosa, don't be too stingy, I can't help you in this way.

Duke Moore was cruel: Salzburg is also for you, because I will send a fleet to attack Nanyang in the future, so I must take down the city of Godoro. Don’t be too greedy, otherwise our years of friendship will be over!

Mosa thought for a while and said: I will share the benefits of Nanyang.

make a deal!Duke Moore smiled and said: But no matter how many people you lose in the future, don’t cry to me, because I will give you a chance to bargain!

Mosa said in a gloomy tone: Don't worry, I will send my strongest masters to deal with Jiang Shuihan. You will think your efforts are worth the money!

If it weren't for the lives of several sons I had left in Jiang Shuihan's hands, I might not have been willing to do this business with you! Duke Moore sighed hypocritically, as if he was not in trouble, but just asked Mosa for help to avenge his son.

Mosa sneered in his heart, but his face was very solemn. He patted Duke Moore on the shoulder: Don’t be sad, old friend, I will definitely avenge you!
