Chapter 320 Encounter
Cultivating a private armed force will undoubtedly cost huge financial resources, and the weapons and military pay supply alone are a bottomless pit for money. Without a stable and continuous huge source of funds, it is difficult to provide for a long time. Maybe a small war will be enough to completely lose everything!
Xia Lan has never had any idea about money, but this does not mean that he has no money. On the contrary, the money he robbed during the tasks over the years is enough to support him for the rest of his life. Money is not omnipotent, but money is absolutely indispensable. He still understands this truth very well, especially after getting used to the luxury of daily life, money has become an indispensable thing for him. The chapters are updated the fastest
When all his money was invested in the armed forces secretly established by Oden, he was consumed in a blink of an eye, which was like a drop in the bucket. Only when he deeply realized the role of money.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
With a passionate response to Pandillia's call, the young people who joined the Princess's Little Guard Corps, could not ignore them as the heads of establishing and cultivating this armed force. Most of these people came from poor and poor families. When they arrived in Querofi, they were already penniless. If they wanted to gain the loyalty of this armed force, the problem of food and clothing would be the first thing they had to solve before them.
It is not difficult to solve food and clothing, but weapons and equipment and military training are major issues!
Because you can't expect a group of mobs to compete with Viscount Morrown, who is extremely powerful in military power. As long as they can play the greatest role at the best time, Xia Lan can already be satisfied.
Perhaps cruel, from beginning to end, Xia Lan just regarded them as cannon fodder on the front line of Viscount Moroen, and Viscount Moroen must also have a contemptuous attitude towards this armed force. Otherwise, how could he allow Querofe to appear an illegal armed organization specifically dealing with him?
He did not choose to destroy this armed force that was still in its infancy. On the one hand, he was concerned about his cooperative relationship with Xialan Pandelia. On the other hand, he believed that this armed force did not pose any threat to him at all. Moreover, with appropriate indulgence, he immediately resolved it cleanly after the armed force began to form a scale. This would definitely put Xialan and Pandelia in deep despair. Such a pleasant thing was definitely the result that Viscount Moroen was very happy to see.
However, Viscount Morrown did not expect that Serrara had already seen his conceited mentality, so Xia Lan and the others simply took advantage of the situation to secretly expand madly and vigorously, which led to a serious economic collapse!
How to solve the funding source? Should Pandelia really let go of her figure and seek funding from the powerful and wealthy people? Xia Lan, who was attending a banquet with Pandelia in the Querofi Chamber, was worried about this issue. Absent-minded, he suddenly saw a familiar person appearing in his eyes.
He has a tall figure, luxurious mink coat, and a wild and charming face.
Niniluo!?
Why is it her?
Xia Lan's spirit suddenly condensed, and her eyes stared at the woman who raised her wine glass and smiled at him not far away. The smile seemed to be mixed with some inexplicable smell, charming, surprising? Coincidence?
"It's her? How could she be here?"
In my ears, Pandilia, who had just finished talking to a powerful man, discovered Xia Lan's abnormality and immediately looked along his gaze. She was shocked and spoke out loud.
"Do you know her?" Xia Lan turned her attention to Pandillia and frowned and said strangely.
"Yes... this starts with us after we escaped separately during the pursuit of Lord Baixize..." Then Pandelia began to tell in detail about the experience of knowing Niniluo.
"Mercenary of the caravan under Viscount Morrowen? Humph! I'm afraid her identity will not be that simple." After listening to Pandillia's story, Xia Lan murmured softly.
"She once said that she knew you, that is, you knew her? Is this true?" Pandillia said with some complexity.
"That's right. She and I once had a cooperation with each other in the royal city of the Kingdom of Adria." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Why did you think she showed up here?" Pandillia asked.
"The mercenaries wander around with the mission commission, and it is possible to appear anywhere." Xia Lan said.
"But don't you think it's a coincidence?" Pandillia doubted.
"Coincidence? There are too many coincidences in the world. It's not surprising that there is one more thing now." Xia Lan said: "She's here."
When Pandilia heard this, she ignored the doubts in her heart. Her attention and eyes turned to Niniluo, who was slowly walking gracefully not far away.
"Your Highness, Princess!"
Niniluo came to them and performed a standard etiquette move of a noble lady greeting with a smile.
"Ms. Niniluo Gui'an!" Pandilia returned to her princess' true nature and smiled seriously. "I didn't expect we will meet again."
"Maybe this shows that I have an incomprehensible fate with His Highness Pandilia." Niniluo covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Why are you here?" At this time, Xia Lan suddenly made a cold voice and interrupted the polite words of the two of them.
"It's a very rude thing to interrupt the conversation between the lady! Little boy!" Niniluo glanced at Xia Lan's handsome and cold cheek and looked up and down.
"Pandilia, I have something to say to her, so you can avoid it for the time being." Xia Lan ignored Niniluo's verbal teasing, but turned to Pandilia beside her and said directly.
"Huh - what can you say in front of His Highness the Princess? Moreover, your attitude towards His Highness the Princess is very rude and harsh. If it were me, I would definitely bring you down and behead you!" Niniluo said with a stronger smile on her face.
"His Excellency Xia Lan, then I won't disturb you from talking to Ms. Niniluo and leave first." Although Pandilia was a little unhappy, she still followed Xia Lan's words, and there was no sign of anything unusual on her smiling face.
"Try not to disappear from my sight." Xia Lan specifically reminded her before she left.
"OK."
After saying that, Pandillia walked towards a circle of powerful people while talking.
"Tsk tsk, it really made me see you. I didn't expect you to train the princess of a country so obediently." Looking at Pandelia's elegant back as she left, Ninilu couldn't help but tease.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Xia Lan said coldly ignoring the other party's jokes.
"Oh... you are still not changing. I really need to change my sister's words. Otherwise, no woman will fall in love with you." Niniluo still said politely.
"It's not your turn to care about my affairs!" Xia Lan snorted coldly.
"Is that so? I took advantage of others and forgot my old love when I found a new love! You men are indeed a group of unfaithful people who are cold and ruthless by nature!" Niniluo wiped the corners of her eyes and pretended to cry.
"Have you had enough fun?" Xia Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and a strong murderous aura burst out from her body and rushed towards Nini Luo.
Feeling the murderous aura of Xia Lan, Niniluo's body instinctively made a warning posture, and then she returned to her original nature and said: "You scared my sister again! What a bad man who makes people love and hate... Okay, let's talk about serious business. It's not a coincidence that I appeared here this time, but I specifically wanted to find you!"
"What's the matter with me?" Xia Lan restrained the murderous aura that remained on her body.
"Enok, you should have dealt with him, right? This time I came to tell you by following his orders that he decided to cooperate with you to deal with Viscount Moroen!" Niniluo observed her eyes and said softly.
"Are you the one who was agreed by the ancestors?" Xia Lan said with a trembling eyebrows.
"No. I'm just repaying someone's kindness to do things for them." Niniluo replied indifferently. "Otherwise, who would be willing to get involved in the extremely dangerous muddy waters of Sisinia!"
"So you also know that this muddy water in the pond is extremely dangerous." Xia Lan sneered.
"Nonsense! After all, my sister is now a temporary editor of the public opinion of the ancestors. She doesn't know anything like you, and she bumped into her head!" Niniluo shook her head and said, "Tell me, why did you get into this muddy water? Is it for your little princess beauty?"
"I have my reason, you don't need to know." Xia Lan said coldly.
"Is that true? Then don't beg me when you encounter danger!" Nini said teasingly without caring about Xia Lan's attitude.
"Tell me, how did Electrode decide to cooperate with me?" Xia Lan returned to the topic.
"He can meet all your needs. I know that you have secretly established a so-called princess guard group in Querofi. Now the development of this armed force must be in trouble, right? And we can help you to train this armed force well!" Ninilu said seriously. "Of course, the help we provide is far more than that."
"What do I need to do?" Xia Lan thought for a moment.
"We will tell you when it's right." Nini said. "Don't worry, we won't deliberately arrange something to send you to death."
"It seems that your situation is not good." Xia Lan said.
"Did you see it?" Ninilu smiled. "Yes, since Alonso's back, our organization has encountered great trouble, and many members of the organization have been secretly cleaned up. If this continues, we may be forced to evacuate Querofi."
"It's really unimaginable that you will be so embarrassed when Alonsos comes back!" Xia Lan said.
"You still underestimate this man too much, and Viscount Morrown has many things that are hidden from you. It is normal for you to be kept in the dark." Nini said: "Ironk had a fight with Alonsos not long ago, but Enoch suffered a little bit of secret injury and has not recovered until now."
"No wonder he was so anxious to cooperate with me, and even promised so many attractive conditions." Xia Lan said.
"There's no way. Enoch decided to let me get in touch with you about your negotiations in the morning. Unfortunately, I haven't found a chance to approach you. Maybe you know that there are too many eyeliners around you." Ninilu sighed softly.
"It seems that you have paid a considerable price to meet me this time," Xia Lan said.
"The situation is fine, I just felt wronged that I was just going to be a powerful mistress." Niniluo said lightly.
"No wonder you can get in here!" Xia Lan looked around the venue and said.
"What are you looking for? Are you looking for my man?" Niniluo suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled after seeing Xia Lan's actions.
"No, I'm thinking about why you didn't get in when Pandillia met the civilians. I think those civilians should be the ones Viscount Moroen had already arranged for investigation." Xia Lan said.
"You guessed it right. I found that you little guy is becoming smarter and more intelligent, and it really makes my sister fall in love with you more and more." Nini said, "By the way, do you need to tell me who the man is?"
"No need." Xia Lan stopped and observed.
"Aren't you jealous of your sister as someone else's mistress?" Niniluo pretended to be sad.
"No!" Xia Lan said calmly.
"It turns out that I forgot my old love with a new love!" Niniluo stroked her charming cheek and sighed. "Those innocent and lovely little girls are not as mature and seductive as my sister--"
"Because I know no man can take advantage of you!" Xia Lan said coldly.
"Haha-it seems you still know your sister very well." Niniluo laughed and said, "Do you want to know what happened after the powerful man kept me?"
"Not interested." Xia Lan began to look around again.
"I tell you, the powerful man looked serious in his daily life, but in fact he was a masochist behind his back. Every night he would kneel on the ground and beg his sister to whip him with a whip. Now when I think about that scene, I can't help but laugh." Niniluo said excitedly. "Are you looking for your little princess, right? She is there! Also, the middle-aged man who is talking to her is what I call masochist!"
Following Niniluo's guidance, Xia Lan immediately found two people talking at the banquet table not far away.
As Niniluo said, the middle-aged powerful man who was talking to Pandelia was full of majestic expressions, and the straight dress he wore had no wrinkles at all. On the surface, the other party was a powerful man who strictly adhered to the standards of aristocratic etiquette.
"Have you made any big moves recently? I believe you will not sit and wait for death under the oppression of Viscount Morrown!" Xia Lan asked suddenly.
"You want to know?" A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Niniluo's lips.
"Yes." Xia Lan nodded.
"Sister has been lonely for a long time recently." Niniluo said inexplicably at this time.
"The dagger on your thigh can solve the problem of loneliness for you." Xia Lan glanced at her and said.
"But now I miss the dagger on you." Niniluo gradually leaned forward towards Xia Lan and said.
"The other end of the corridor is a garden." Xia Lan said for no reason.
"There is indeed a garden there." Nini said with charming eyes.
