December 1st, noon.

Old lady Mary yawned and walked into the old grandmother's tavern through the back door.

Da Yifan and several of his men made a mess of the back kitchen in order to roast a piece of mutton. The old lady Mary stood with her hands on her hips, standing behind the counter in the tavern, yelling at Big Ivan for five minutes, and charged him with a bill of three hundred gold marks.

The big Ivan who ate a mouthful of oily mouth complained to Joe innocently: "I just smashed a few plates, sprinkled some salt and pepper, those things... well, pepper is a bit more expensive, even a gold Mark...but three hundred golden marks, that's too much!"

Joe waved his hand disapprovingly: "Oh, you have money, Big Ivan, you can swipe the bill here as much as you like... Dear Mary, give me enough love potato sirloin... Oh, oh, this is Earl Sherlock of the Ice Sea Kingdom, let him learn about the flavors of our Durham Empire, especially the food from a master chef like you!"

The old lady Mary squinted her eyes, took a deep look at Sherlock, and then curled her lips severely.

"People from the Ice Sea Kingdom? That terrible food desert... Hehe, well, for your sake, Joe... The woks of the Ice Sea Kingdom, they only deserve dog food..."

Sherlock's face twitched.

Looking at the small, wrinkled old lady Mary, Sherlock wanted to spit out a few words, but due to the nobility’s recuperation, he could not speak at all... Helplessly spread his hands, Sherlock whispered: "This is Geographical discrimination... Our Ice Sea Kingdom still has a few good dishes."

"Fried potato chips with mustard octopus legs!" The old lady Mary rolled up her sleeves, and said unceremoniously to Sherlock: "This kind of dog food, and only the group of Japanese melons from the Ice Sea Kingdom, have the face to let them appear. At the state banquet!"

Sherlock's face flushed.

This time, he just wanted to quibble a few words, but he was really speechless.

Joe grinned ‘chuckling’, and Velenya pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, her bright eyes curled like crescent moons.

The twenty-two level swordsman of the Al organization, a high-ranking swordsman who has countless resources, and controls a huge power... Hehe, he was stunned by an old lady!

The two of them couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is the ‘state banquet’ of the Binghai Kingdom? How terrible is their food culture so that people like Sherlock can't say a word of rebuttal?

The old lady Mary was swift, and a few chefs helped her. It didn't take long for her to deliver a hot appetizing fish velvet cheese soup.

Joe grabbed the garlic butter bread that was delivered at the same time, and swallowed it heavily in the thick soup, from time to time he made cat-like satisfying ‘snoring’ from his throat.

Sherlock took two bites like Joe, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

Velenya even ate and smiled, like a pet dog protecting food, half of her body almost lay on the soup bowl.

While Joe and his party were enjoying food at the Grandma’s Tavern, Andrew, who had been banned by his family for more than half a month, was wrapped in a thick mink coat, standing tremblingly on a deserted small pier on the north bank of the Lan Yin River. on.

Andrew and Joe had a conflict in the Whispering Forest Club, and then there was the theft of the Whispering Forest Club's treasure trove. Justice Bell and Willen planted Joe but was pitted against each other.

The Werner family, governor of the Rhine River, was intertwined and deeply entrenched in the empire, and belonged to the absolute imperial capital of the Snake family. Knowing that Andrew was involved in this case, Andrew was immediately banned by his father, the contemporary Duke of Werner Dublin, and was imprisoned for more than half a month.

Until the storm caused by the Whispering Forest Club gradually calmed down, the super Junkers behind Bell paid a huge price and calmed down the anger of the royal family. After all aspects of the fight gradually subsided, Andrew had only just been in the two days at the end of November. The ban was lifted, and he had the right to move freely.

"Ah, **** weather... you are all watching my jokes... **** it, sooner or later..." Andrew stomped heavily, cursing in a low voice at the Werner family, who are crazy these days Laughing at his family brother.

Among them, the one he complained the most was naturally his two brothers from the same father and mother.

Andrew's grandfather, Dufred, is the current governor of the Lanin River in the Durham Empire. He has mastered the marine police forces along the Lanin River, and his influence has spread to dozens of provinces in the Lanin River basin.

On the Lanyin River, all shipping, storage, anti-smuggling, anti-theft, taxation, fishing and hunting, and even the extraction of river water for irrigation from the farmland along the coast, and the construction and maintenance of the water conservancy system in the basin are all under the control of the Governor of the Lanyin River. This is a very powerful and extremely rich function, and it is also a function that the Werner family has inherited from generation to generation.

A few years ago, Andrew's grandfather had inherited his dukedom to Du Berlin. The discerning person knew at a glance that this was preparing for Du Berlin to take over the position of Governor of the Lan Yin River.

Over the years, Du Berlin has begun to take charge of some specific affairs of the Governor-General of the Lanin River.

Andrew’s two elder brothers from the same father and mother, they are both elites graduated from the Imperial Military University. They have entered the Governor’s Mansion on the Lan Yin River under the arrangement of Du Berlin. They have taken up specific duties and held certain real powers. Part of the manpower.

And Andrew... he thought the military university was too hard and tired, so he ran to the fourth university of the imperial capital, and spent the whole day hanging out with a group of handsome men and beauties playing with art.

The name of'Daniel' is firmly attached to Andrew. No matter Dufred and Du Berlin, they have left to Andrew and do not count on him... The biggest use of Andrew in the future may be to become a tool for family marriage. Right?

Andrew was very upset, so he was full of resentment.

"Sooner or later, the Werner family will belong to me, and the title of the Duke of Werner is mine, and the position of Governor Lanin is also mine... Ah, and the fiancées of those two **** will definitely belong to me. !"

Andrew's eldest brother Anderson, his fiancee, is a princess of a dependent duchy of the Durham Empire.

Andrew's second brother Andel, his fiancée, is the youngest daughter of Kerrell, Minister of Police of the Durham Empire.

Andrew has seen the fiancées of his two elder brothers, all of whom are beautiful in the natural beauty of the country, and they are distinguished by their origins, have excellent tutors, and are real famous ladies, but not those of the Fourth University who think about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix all day, or playing art A crazy woman who is crazy about playing can be compared.

For his two future sister-in-laws, Andrew had long been salivating.

If it weren't for the fear of being interrupted by two powerful brothers, Andrew would have been entangled with a group of fox friends and dog friends, pestering two future sister-in-laws all day, looking for opportunities to take advantage.

"Sooner or later it will be mine!" Andrew cursed in a low voice.

I don't know why, the outside temperature is already ten degrees below zero, and the Lanyin River is still full of water, flowing vigorously from west to east day and night. No matter whether it is the riverside or the center of the river, there is no ice flakes at all. Instead, there is a faint heat rising on the water surface.

Not to mention that the temperature did not drop to the lowest in December, even in the coldest January, when the temperature can reach minus 30 or 40 degrees, the Lanyin River never freezes.

A faint heat rose above the river, and large swaths of snowflakes kept falling in the sky.

The snowflakes swirled, crushing the rising heat, and then fell into the river, disappearing in an instant.

A black shadow floated quickly from the south bank to the north.

It was a double-masted clipper, about a hundred feet long, and was the most common cargo ship on the Lanyin River. It's just that this ship is obviously different from an ordinary cargo ship. There is a chimney in the middle of its hull, which is constantly emitting a faint black smoke.

Amid the roar of ‘boom boom boom’, water splashes surging from the stern, pushing the cargo ship to the north shore against the howling cold wind from the north.

This is a new-style cargo ship powered by a steam engine. This small steam engine can only be built by hand. The process is complicated and the yield is low. Therefore, the cost is high. On the Lanyin River, only the Lanyin Governor’s Mansion is used by the Marine Police and anti-smuggling. The team is equipped with hundreds of articles.

On the mast, the sails were retracted. Only above the first mast, the Dragon Mang Wave Flag, which represented the Governor’s Mansion on the Lanyin River, was dancing in the wind. There was still a long way away from the shore. Andrew heard the flag dancing'slap. Slap.

Andrew straightened his waist immediately. He grabbed a small wooden pole beside him, raised a small red flag, and waved it towards the cargo ship on the river.

The cargo ship adjusted its course a little, and headed towards the deserted small pier where Andrew was.

After about a quarter of an hour, the steam engine of the cargo ship made a "chick" sound~www.ltnovel.com~ The steam continued to circulate, the pressure of the boiler continued to drop, and the cargo ship slowly moved under the control of several dark-faced sailors. , Leaned accurately on the trestle bridge of the pier.

A middle-aged man in the uniform of the Marine Police Team of the Governor's Mansion on the Lanyin River walked out of the cabin, jumped off the trestle, and approached Andrew, laughing and saluting him: "Master Andrew... your guest is delivered safely."

Andrew nodded, with a trace of heartache, he took a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Remember, don't say what shouldn't be said." Andrew stared at the middle-aged man fiercely: "I will not treat my brothers badly."

The middle-aged man hurriedly took the banknotes and bowed deeply to Andrew: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't read what you shouldn't, don't tell what you shouldn't say...Master Andrew, the rules, we understand! "

The middle-aged man returned to the cargo ship with a smile. Several sailors put a springboard on the trestle bridge. A group of more than 20 people wearing black cloaks, all wrapped in cloaks, walked out of the cabin without showing their faces. The trestle was on the springboard.

The boiler of the cargo ship began to pressurize, and the sailors controlled the cargo ship and left the trestle at the fastest speed.

The cargo ship traveled a few miles to the south, and came to a channel that the Marine Police patrolled daily. They turned the bow of the ship and sailed westward all the way.

Looking toward the west in the direction of the boat, you can faintly see the large iron bridge across the Rhine River.

A group of people came to Andrew.

Andrew bowed deeply and saluted them: "My distinguished guests, I am instructed to meet you...I have prepared a residence for you, and everything is at the top of the imperial capital."

More than a dozen four-wheeled carriages came from the rear, and Andrew respectfully invited the men in black into the carriage.
