The bet was handed over to the Marquis in advance. Meng Han didn't have to worry about His Highness reneging on the bill. Even if he wanted to, at this time, he couldn't take back the gold coins from the Marquis like what Meng Han did last time. The disgraced Second Highness
Your Highness, not only has to face the loss of 100,000 gold coins, but also has to answer for the discovery of a necromancer among his own bodyguards.
In the Empire of Light, if something like this happens, His Highness will have no other choice but to die. However, this is not the Empire of Light, this is the Principality of Trans, and the one who is in charge now is still the old Grand Duke. Even so.
Colluding with the Necromancer is a very big sin, but here, it is not a crime that will lead to death, and His Highness will definitely only make an oversight on the surface, and will never be severely punished.
Meng Han no longer cares about these things. His affairs in the Stone Castle are nothing more than accepting rewards. While waiting, there is still one thing that makes Meng Han very happy. In order to raise 100,000 gold coins, His Highness is going to
The Casa Palace in his name was used as a mortgage, and he borrowed almost 50,000 gold coins in cash from some people. In this bet, His Highness lost all his money, and the Casa Palace naturally returned to someone else's name. After that,
After some operations by Francis, the Casa Palace of the Rock Castle became an industry under Meng Han's name.
Meng Han was a little regretful that he could not directly receive 50,000 gold coins in cash. However, the Casa Palace, whose actual value is definitely around 70,000 gold coins, can definitely make up for Meng Han's losses. Now that it has become his own property, Meng Han
John simply closed the business at all during this period, all serving himself and his bodyguards.
In five days, there will be a national celebration and a celebration of the ***'s reward. Meng Han was waiting boredly, and at the same time he also received several important customers. When he was bored, he suddenly received a notice that someone was asking for a meeting, but
But he didn't identify himself.
At this time, the person who asked to see Meng Han did not dare to identify himself. Meng Han really couldn't figure out who it was. But this was his own place, and Meng Han was not afraid of anyone playing tricks. After thinking for a moment, he ordered someone to bring them in.
.
The visitor was wearing a cloak with a large hood. He could not see clearly under the hood. After entering Meng Han's room, the visitor looked at the two maids and two female knights beside Meng Han.
Very straightforwardly, he turned back his hood, revealing a pretty face.
"Princess Catherine?" Meng Han was surprised that the person who came was actually the old Grand Duke's daughter Catherine. The last time Meng Han saw Catherine in Huangsha City, Catherine naively asked Meng Han to take responsibility for the old Grand Duke and the Marquis' falling out.
She even asked Meng Han to stand on her father's side, but Meng Han refused at the time. However, what is she doing here now? And she is dressed so mysteriously?
"I will continue our last agreement!" Princess Catherine said straight to the point, with the expression on her face like that of a prisoner who was calmly going to die.
"We have an agreement?" Princess Catherine's words made Meng Han very confused. He was confused. When did he have an agreement with Princess Catherine?
"You said that if I were your woman, you would help me!" Princess Catherine looked at Meng Han stubbornly. Seeing how dishonest he was, her eyes almost burst into flames. If she hadn't felt that she was here to beg for help.
Yes, maybe he will walk away immediately.
"Wait! Wait!" Meng Han vaguely remembered that he had made this joke, but it seemed to be a joke at the time? Why did Catherine take it seriously? Meng Han felt as if he was dreaming, and it was also a ridiculous dream.
Suddenly, a grand duke's daughter came to him and told him that she wanted to be his own woman. However, this grand duke didn't seem to have much dealing with him. Meng Han felt that this was impossible no matter how much he thought about it.
"Joy, pinch me, am I dreaming?" Meng Han couldn't help but said this to Joey, causing the four girls around him to snicker, while Princess Catherine's face became more and more tense. Princess Catherine
She was originally a beauty, and she was also a beautiful woman with status. Such a face made her look quite majestic like a princess.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Meng Han looked at the princess in front of him and asked with a frown.
"I'm serious." Princess Catherine bit her lip, as if she was making a major decision: "If you want, you can have me now!"
"It seems that we have never said how I can help you!" Princess Catherine's performance made Meng Han sink his heart. If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. Where can there be such a cheap thing, a princess from the principality will run to
To come forward to yourself and be your own woman, there are definitely many conditions that are difficult to accept.
"I will be your woman, and you will not be able to give the Marquis any help from now on." Princess Catherine told her conditions expressionlessly: "You can't give him money, you can't sell him various weapons, and you can't let your people
Help him. If necessary, you must help me deal with the Marquis and his men."
After hearing what Catherine said, Meng Han laughed instead. Not only Meng Han, but also Joey laughed. Julie didn't have such a sophisticated mind and didn't think so much, and the two little maids didn't think too much either.
Most of them didn't realize that there was anything funny about it. But since the adults and Sister Joy were both laughing, they also smiled.
"Do you know that your eldest brother was on the front line and was almost unable to get off the stage because of me?" After Meng Han laughed, he looked at Princess Catherine with interest, looked at her tense pretty face, and asked casually
.
"I know!" Princess Catherine simply replied.
"Do you know that I made your second brother pay 100,000 gold coins, killed more than 200 magicians and warriors on him, and even made him almost wear a hat of colluding with the necromancer?" Meng
John continued to ask.
"I know!" Catherine replied simply again.
"Then do you know that both your brothers and your father want me to die right now?" Meng Han stared into Catherine's eyes and asked seriously.
"Know!"
"Then do you know that what you want to get and what you are about to pay are not equivalent?"
"Know!"
"Then do you think I'm a fool?" Meng Han even felt a little unreasonable about this question. How could he make such a joke with such an innocent girl in the first place? Now it seems that he can't stand it.
"You said that if I become your woman, you will help me!" Catherine did not answer this question directly, but talking about this so-called agreement seemed to actually admit that Meng Han was indeed stupid enough.
"Although I really don't want to say this in front of women, I still have to say it." Meng Han looked helplessly at the innocent and upright princess in front of him who would sacrifice his life to cut the flesh of a tiger and feed it to an eagle for the sake of his family. He was very serious.
Said: "Some things are not as simple as you think!"
"First of all, even the alliance between countries can be torn up at any time. The verbal agreement between us individuals. Remember, it is just a verbal agreement. I can not recognize it at any time." Meng Han stretched out his own stick.
Pointing his finger, he told Catherine seriously: "As long as I need it."
"Secondly, I don't think that in this situation, even if I help you, I can gain the approval of your father and your brothers and dispel their thoughts of wanting me to die. Maybe you have already decided that I am stupid, but
I'm not stupid enough to help someone who wants my own life." The second finger stretched out, Meng Han still stared into Princess Catherine's eyes: "What are the personalities of your own father and brother?
I think you know better than me."
"Third, the original agreement did not simply say that if you become my woman, I will help you unconditionally." Meng Han stretched out his third finger and placed it in front of Catherine: "I remember what I said at the time was
, if you become the heir of the Grand Duke and become my woman, I will fully help you. You are not the heir of the Grand Duke yet! As a businessman, I hope that my investment can get the maximum return, rather than letting someone other than you become the heir.
Grand Duke, and then I was killed by the new Grand Duke."
After saying these three points, Meng Han put down his hand in front of Catherine and moved his face closer, less than a fist away from Catherine's pretty face. Catherine had been standing quietly, surprisingly calm.
There is no hiding.
Meng Han and Catherine looked at each other face to face for a long time before Meng Han asked in a deep voice: "Did I make it clear enough?"
Involuntarily, Catherine nodded. Meng Han then stood back and looked at Catherine quietly, waiting for her next reaction.
After standing there and struggling for a while, Catherine said with difficulty: "What if, what if I only ask you to help me?"
"Then what do you think I am doing now?" Meng Han suddenly laughed and asked: "The silk industry was bought by the Marquis with gold coins. There were many people present at the time, and only the Marquis paid. It was produced in my territory.
Weapons can be sold to anyone at the same price, and there is no special discount given to the Marquis. My people always only fight for me, not others. Even the last gambling fight was not initiated by me.
. Can you understand what I mean by these words?"
This time, Princess Catherine thought longer, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by Meng Han waving his hand.
"Don't get me wrong. I just stick to my personal principles. If he is good to me, I will be better to him! If he wants me to die, I will let him die first! I am not trying to distance myself from the relationship between the Marquis and myself here.
In fact, there is no need to tell the truth. He supported me when he should have supported me, and he had no intention of killing me, so he and I are on the same side." Meng Han's words made Princess Catherine feel disappointed again.
among.
"Princess Catherine, I just hope that you will think carefully before you want to deal with me. Everything that happened was not what I expected. I did not take the initiative to deal with your family, nor did I take the initiative to kill anyone.
Everything I did was just to make me and my people live a better life." Meng Han finished speaking quickly, and then said goodbye: "If there is nothing else, princess, you can leave. In addition,
If Her Royal Highness the Princess is interested in the Grand Duke's position one day, and is also interested in me, then we might as well discuss the verbal agreement again."
