100,

Facing the questioning eyes of the nobles and the count's surprised question, Marquis Uk's face was as calm as water, but he was cursing in his heart.

If he had a choice, he would certainly not be willing to propose peace talks with the merchants, but does he have any other choice now?

Last night, he received a letter from his sister. It was a magical messenger, which was about some very secretive news.

Although my sister's words were very cautious and she could see that she was not very sure, compared with the information at hand, the Marquis of Uk could be sure that her guess was correct.

He was sure that the nobles should not have sent anyone to attack the caravans and civilians sent by the merchants. The nobles' border soldiers and lords were attacked, probably not the merchants' mission.

He thought before that since everyone was very angry, it would be better to just fight. Anyway, the main force sent troops was local nobles, and even if he lost, as a central noble, he would have limited losses. Therefore, he was a pro-war faction and tended to fight a small-scale war with the merchant faction.

But compared with his sister's information, he thought about it carefully for a long time, but was scared and sweated.

If this really starts, I am afraid it is not a problem of "small-scale war", and I don't want to "limited losses".

The one who promoted this war behind the scenes did not want a small-scale war at all, but a fierce war that involved the entire gold coin federation!

Although he could not understand why that person was doing such a thing, it was not important. What was important was that as a beneficiary of the existing order of the Gold Coin Federation, he could never allow a full-scale civil war between the Gold Coin Federation!

That not only means that he will suffer heavy losses, but also means huge danger.

The higher you stand, the heavier you will fall.

The Uk family has reached the peak of the Gold Coin Federation, and it is impossible to get higher. However, there is a high possibility of falling down. He is sure that although his family is dazzling now, he is planning behind his back, trying to stab himself, or even kill the Uk family completely, and there are many people who are feasting around the corpse.

He absolutely cannot allow that kind of thing to happen! Whether it is a mortal or a god, if you want to make the Uk family unlucky, it is his enemy!

So before dawn, he gathered the core members of the family and held a secret meeting. Then he put his eldest son under house arrest in a secret room, contacted the leaders of the noble faction, and talked directly about the matter of discussing peace with the merchants.

This certainly damaged his image and the face of the Uk family, but now he doesn't care about those things.

Now, the conflict between the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction is only at the level of "friction" or "small conflict". If the situation is not calmed down now and the war is on fire, even the Uk family will be powerless.

Looking at the leaders of the noble sect projected through magic communication, he sighed secretly and said, "Everyone, as the saying goes, one time and another, I was fiercely fighting because I thought I could get the benefits of fighting. But now, I have obtained an important information! This is the key to my change of mind."

"What information?" Marquis Gordon, one of the two marquises, asked in a deep voice.

"The Northwest Republic has sent a joint exploration team to explore a mine with the merchants."

"We have known this for a long time, what's so great about it?" an earl laughed.

The Marquis of Uk sneered and continued, "They found the Mithril mine in the mine."

"Mervical silver mine... isn't a very great thing, right?" said the count who spoke just now.

Marquis Uk said expressionlessly: "After identification, it was not the acquired mitral mine that transformed from ordinary silver mines due to magic infiltration, but the innate mitral mine that was born when the main plane was formed."

The Earl who spoke twice just now was mute, and the other Earls couldn't help but take a breath, and even Marquis Gordon couldn't help frowning.

"Is this news reliable?" he asked.

"Of course reliable." Marquis Uk said lightly.

It is enough to say this news. As for the more important news, he will never disclose it to these people.

If you are careful to keep that secret, you can protect the family for at least a thousand years or even longer.

After a while, Marquis Gordon said in a deep voice: "Do you know the reserves of that mine vein?"

"What do you think of my spies?" Marquis Uk laughed and asked, "If they could even find out the reserves of that mine vein, would you still sleep peacefully in the future?"

Marquis Gordon laughed dryly and did not mention this again.

Local nobles have struggles with central nobles, and of course there are also struggles within the central nobles. Marquis Gordon and Marquis Uk are old rivals, and they are the kind of people who "want you to death" (I really want you to die). The spies under Marquis Uk were already a little uneasy when they were able to find out such confidential information. If they could further inquire about the top-secret mine reserves, it would not be difficult to find out about Marquis Gordon's secrets.

At least... the distance is a little closer.

Seeing the atmosphere a little awkward, an earl with a good relationship with Marquis Gordon hurriedly changed the topic: "The value of a congenital mitral mineral vein is extraordinary, which will greatly strengthen the relationship between the Northwest Republic and the Merchant Sect. At this time, it is easy to attract the attention of the Northwest Republic. It is indeed... very inappropriate."

"Yes, they must be nervous now. Once stimulated, they will easily overreact. At least they have to wait until the dust is settled and the mining and identification of the mine veins will be eased." Another count said, "Even if they want to fight, they will have to wait until then."

As he said that, everyone's eyes fell on the Earl of "Good Horse".

The Earl of "Good Horse" actually does not have the surname "Good Horse". The origin of this name can be traced back to the founder of their family. The earl's name was "Good House" and nicknamed "Good Horse". Later, although the official name of their family was Earl of House, the name "Good Horse" was so famous, so everyone usually used this nickname to call them.

Of course, this is also because they don’t care, and they even take pride in this title.

The one who is currently in trouble with the merchants is the "Good Horse" Earl House. He originally wanted to attack the central nobles by taking advantage of his assassination and demand some compensation. Unexpectedly, he had not yet negotiated substantial issues with the central nobles, so the merchants actually came to attack him first, accusing his soldiers of crossing the border to attack the caravans and civilians.

Earl House was in a bad mood, but when he was stimulated by this, he couldn't help but get furious and drove the messenger sent by the merchant out without saying a word.

As a result, the merchant Pai Mu actually gathered troops on the border, as if he was going to do a big fight.

The "Good Horse" family has always dared to fight and fight. If he doesn't hit the other party, the other party should be thankful. Now he dares to come and cause trouble for him?!

To borrow a famous saying from Brother Yilidan, who was whitewashed by Blizzard Company after Sui Xiong traveled through time, you are seeking death!

So he did not hesitate to order the troops and confront the merchant party.

These days, the two sides have had two small-scale confrontations. Although the losses are not big, their anger is getting bigger and bigger.

If the nobles want to negotiate peace at this moment, his attitude becomes the key.
