Book of Gods and Demons

In the afternoon, dozens of horses rushed from Tulum Harbour.

From the Port of Tulum to Loveland, it is actually only more than twenty miles, and it is fast, that is, less than an hour.

The knights rushed into Lovegang, and then quickly scattered into the streets and alleys.

Sweet Shrimp Tavern in the southwest corner of Love Hill.

This is a very famous tavern in Lovegang, which also serves drinks, dining, wind and moon, and gambling. There are also small buildings in the backyard. There are hundreds of comfortable rooms for guests to enjoy.

At the moment, in the lobby of the pub, a long table is joined together, the table is full of various drinks, and the maid in bold dress rushes to and fro carrying a variety of drinks and dishes, cursing loudly from time to time, and slaps someone with a'pop'. A salty pork knuckle.

The owner of the tavern, the tall and hideous-looking old Duo Li stood behind the counter, holding a white towel and wiping the wine glass vigorously, looking at the hundreds of men dancing in the hall with a blank expression.

There are pirates, bandits, fugitives, local gang leaders, and some from Tulum Port, the representatives of the big family in the original seven-member committee in Lofgang.

They smoked cigarettes and drank wine. Some people were worried and silent, and some were clamoring and shouting loudly, looking like they were proud and proud of the spring breeze.

Old Tuolly grabbed a big wine glass, took a sip of sweet wine with'Gudong', and muttered in a low voice, "Tulum Port has changed. Phew, some old customers, I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future. Kindness Blessed Muteste, my Sweet Shrimp Tavern will continue to prosper."

"Brothers, be quiet, be quiet." Bill the Blue-Ringed Sea Snake grabbed an empty wine bottle and tapped it several times on the huge oak table.

The tavern hall gradually became quiet, and many people either sat in their seats or simply stood up, dangling cigarettes, looking at Bill coldly.

"Everyone should have heard about the events in the last few days. The Rittal family has come to power, so today, there are no people from the Rittal family." Bill said solemnly, "The Rittal family has come to power. Everyone knows that in the past few years. They became more and more greedy and took away a lot of our business, and their methods were harsh and shameless."

"They have become the masters of Tulum Harbour. Will they let go of the fat of Loveland?" Bill shook his head and sighed. "If the paws of the Rittal family are stretched out, so many of our brothers will be able to stay in Love in the future. Is Gang Xiaoyao happy?"

"Think of a way, brothers, think of a way."

Bill dropped the wine bottle in his hand and said solemnly, "This afternoon, Joe Rong Witto, the second youngest of the Witto family, came with him. He brought more than 100 police officers. After all, he is Tulun. The director of the Hong Kong Police Station's Lovegang Branch."

"If, our Young Master Qiao, will govern Lofgang in the same way as Tulum Port, and every barrel of wine, every bundle of hemp, every jar of tea, every bundle of silk will be taxed according to the imperial tax rate. ..."

Bill picked up the big pure gold pocket watch hanging on his chest. "Hey, dear brothers, see what this is? Will there be good days for us in the future? Do we still have money to buy these shining cuties? "

Shaking his head, Bill pointed to a fat man sitting in the far corner.

"Hey, Mr. Cali Jon Caban, tell me what you think? You are the boss of Caban's family in Lovegun. You have to say something... I heard that the battleship of the Jiasijia Island Squadron was bombarded. To the Caban’s manor?"

"You have to say something, after all, you are like us, in Lovegun, so many brothers rely on you to eat?"

The skin was dark, the figure was slightly fat, and the sullen face of Kali with small triangular eyes was rather fierce. He picked up the wine glass and ate up half a pound of rum in one sip.

He smashed the wine glass heavily on the long table, and Cali said coldly, "What to say? What else to say? My Caban..."

‘Bow’, the swing door in the lobby of the tavern was violently pushed open, and more than two dozen clever men broke in.

Kali stood up abruptly and waved his arms at the man who broke in. "Ahha? Cheli? You escaped?"

According to the news from the port of Tulum, all the members of the Kaban family in Tulum were captured by the Imperial Army and the police, and they were all thrown into the black jail of the police station.

Cheli was also on the list of imprisoned Caban family members. He suddenly saw Cheli in Love Gang who should be suffering in the dark prison at this moment. Cali was happy and surprised. I don’t know what happened. Going on.

"Langome..." The big boss in charge of the Haydn family's smuggling business in Lovegang jumped up and called out his brother's name loudly.

"Aha? Siegoff, my brother." Several smugglers in the Duolun family also stood up in surprise and looked at the men who broke into the tavern.

"Are it all here?" Cheli Jon Caban whistled. He walked over to Cali, murmured a few words in his ear, and then took out a blank note from his sleeve. .

Through the lights in the tavern, you can see the white paper strips with round fire lacquer patterns.

Langham and Siegoff also walked up to their brothers and murmured in their ears.

In just a few breaths, Bill Blue Ring Sea Snake hadn’t figured out what happened. The people from Haydn, Kaban, and Duolun, together with their downstream distribution partners, had already been'wow!' Standing up, the sweet shrimp tavern came out all of a sudden.

At this time, the number of people in the lobby of the tavern was reduced by nearly a third!

Bill looked at his deputy, Chuck, the flying fish. The two were dull for a while before Chuck hammered the long table vigorously. "Come on, go to Tulum Port, hurry to Tulum Port, tell me, Figure What happened in London...what happened?"

To the north of Lovehill, it is close to the mountains to the west.

A tall hill with an altitude of more than two hundred feet stands. The slightly screen-like tall hill is two miles wide from east to west. Two miles away from the south is the avenue leading to Lovehill. The north and west sides are large areas of miscellaneous Wood forest.

A road paved with gravel is in the shape of a zigzag, leading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the hill.

A wooden high wall stands at the end of Gangding Road, and a dozen dapper men with cigarettes in their mouths stand on top of the high wall and look around.

The top of the hill is flat, and a wall of civil structure 12 feet high and 6 feet thick encloses a large plot of land. In the middle, a wide one-story wooden warehouse and two-story wooden small buildings are built.

This is the warehouse of the Rittal family in Lovegang, and the transshipment center for the Rittal family's smuggling in Lovegang.

From this warehouse to the northeast, there is a road leading to the province of Cloud, but more than two hundred miles, the goods in the stack can be sent to the province of Cloud and into the warehouse of the distributor within three or four days of the ordinary fleet. .

From here to the west, that is, a distance of more than 30 miles, you can directly enter the mountainous area.

There are countless trails in the mountains, some of which lead to the United Kingdom of Nice. Of course, the United Kingdom of Nice is also a maritime power. These ocean-going smuggled goods cannot be sold there.

Some of the trails lead to several large basins on the west side of the mountain. There are several small kingdoms and small principalities. They do not have an exit to the sea. These smuggled goods can be sold at sky-high prices there.

If you were more courageous, you would pass through the small kingdoms and small principalities to the north, and you would be able to meet the barbarians of the Highland Kingdom.

The tribal chiefs, elders, and warrior heroes of those barbarians will be crazy because of these smuggled goods.

In the Durham Empire, a pound of high-quality pepper is now a pound of gold.

There are many gold mines in the mountains and wilds of the Highland Kingdom. Daring profiteers can sell a pound of pepper for three pounds, or even five pounds. If you are bolder, you will have better luck. Someone once sold a hundred pounds. The best white pepper sold at a sky-high price of 1,200 pounds!

It's just that bandits are rampant in this mountainous area, and the backstage boss of many bandits is a big family in Tulum Port.

Therefore, in order to safely pass through this mountainous area and obtain high profits, besides luck, strength is more important.

With a cigar in his mouth, Chau stood at the top of the parapet, overlooking the small town of Lovegang to the south.

The towns are arranged roughly in a long strip from west to east. The main body of the town is five or six miles wide from east to west, and two miles thick from north to south.

Ordinary residents of Lovegang, as well as those sailors, workers, fishermen, and many unknown people, mostly live in the plains by the sea. And the big people of Lovegang who have a lot of head and face, they mostly choose to build luxurious villas far away from each other in the north of the town, which is a little higher hilly area.

Standing at Joe’s position, you can see a large stretch of red roofs in the town of Loveland a few miles away, and just a mile to the south of him, surrounded by green trees, clusters in the east and clusters in the west. , Are the red roofs of those villas.

Looking further into the distance, you can see some looming buildings in the greenery near the coastline to the east and west of Lovegang.

There are a few small villages near Lefgang~www.ltnovel.com~ Apart from the three large unloading docks for fish maw, fish belly and fish belly, there are dozens of small villages near those small villages that can be used for small-scale The wild wharf where the cargo ship unloads.

"Uncle Mule, I need to build a sturdy mansion in Lovegang Town. A mansion that can hold at least five hundred people, and the walls and buildings must be re-reinforced, and there must be more than two secret passages. ."

"Outside Lovegun, I want to arrange a few points. Each point must be strong, strong, strong enough, as strong as a fortress. Each point must be able to station a hundred people. Well, there must be artillery positions. I plan to install field guns no matter it is the headquarters of the sub-bureau or the points outside."

Qiao was talking freely, Lan Kikyo didn't know when, he had already stood behind him.

"Joe, the Haydn family, the Doren family, and the Caban family have broken with the Wells family, Turing family, and Cecil family." Lan Kikyo stood behind Joe and said calmly, "No accident. People from those three families will come to you and be loyal to you."

Qiao turned around abruptly. He frowned vigorously and looked at Lan Kikyo very seriously. "In this case, we are going to be busy. We are going to be busy."
