Chapter 55
"It's rare for my brother to come back once, and there is no need for my father to be angry..."
Looking at the unhappy Baron Kaysen with a dissatisfied face on his face in front of him, Chen Heng smiled, and then said, "Exactly, we have a shortage of manpower here recently, and it's just in time for my brother to come back. "
"Humph."
Baron Kaysen snorted coldly, but after listening to Chen Heng's words, he finally nodded.
After all, it is his own child, no matter how bad he is on weekdays, he is still his own son after all.
Now that Ormando has run out of the door, it doesn't seem very appropriate to blast him out.
And as Chen Heng said, recently, with the development of trade, they have become extra busy, and there are too few people on hand to help.
Ormando came back at this time, and it would be good if he could help.
Thinking of this, his face softened a little, and he looked at White on the side: "Go, let him in."
"Yes."
White nodded, then turned around and walked out just like that.
After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Ormando walked in.
He was wearing a black robe, and he looked tall and burly, but his figure was a little fat, and he looked a lot more bloated than a year ago.
Standing with Chen Heng, the difference in appearance was too obvious.
"You dare to come back."
Looking at Ormando's appearance, Ormando's face was suddenly filled with coldness, looking at him and opening his mouth coldly.
"Father."
Walking into the room, Ormando knelt down on one knee, his face looked particularly sincere: "It's been several months since I left your side, and I miss you very much."
"Please allow me to follow you and don't let me go."
His face was sincere, and he seemed sincere at this time.
Looking at his appearance, Baron Kaysen's expression softened slightly.
"Get up."
He looked at Ormando and said so, asking Ormando to stand up and stand aside.
"The past will not be mentioned for the time being."
He opened his mouth like this and said lightly: "It's just right that you came back."
"Everyone has been very busy these days. It's better for you to come back and help than to stay in that shabby place and drink."
"In a few days, set off with us, with your sword."
Looking at Ormando's bloated figure today, he couldn't help frowning and said so.
"Yes, father."
Ormando nodded again and again, with a sincere look.
After a while, Baron Kaysen left.
Only Chen Heng and Aomanduo were left in place.
"Brother."
Looking at Ormando, Chen Heng smiled, took the initiative to step forward, and said hello.
However, his initiative did not return a response.
In front of him, looking at Chen Heng, Ormando snorted coldly, turned and left without turning his head.
Chen Heng's hand froze in the air, but he looked rather embarrassed.
"Master..."
On the side, Steward White's voice sounded, looking a little embarrassed: "How much is Oman, he..."
"It's ok."
The smile on Chen Heng's face remained unchanged, and he silently retracted his outstretched hand, but just stood there, looking at Ormando's figure and leaving.
In the dark, he shook his head, then greeted White and left.
A few days later, Baron Kaysen's manor was busy.
The goods from the north were everywhere around, and the whole estate was piled up.
Around, there are some people who are similar in appearance to ordinary people, but have thick black hair all over their bodies, working everywhere and working hard.
"So many things..."
Looking at the goods around, Baron Kaysen couldn't help but sigh: "How did you bring these things here?"
"Those lords will let you pass safely."
He is a noble himself, and he clearly knows what those lords are.
Don't expect the noble lords of this world to have such good qualities.
In fact, it is sometimes an exaggeration to call these people robbers.
Ormando is an example.
Why was he reprimanded by Baron Kaysen before? Wasn't it because he led someone to loot a caravan belonging to a nearby lord?
And this kind of thing, there are many, many, too many to count.
In fact, if the caravan did not belong to a nearby lord, but belonged to an ordinary merchant, or a distant lord, then Ormando would have nothing to do with it.
These days, transportation is inconvenient, and there are many dangers in the outside world. It is only a caravan, and if it is robbed, it will be robbed. It is not a big deal at all.
It's not like Baron Kaysen himself has done something similar.
It can be seen from this that if you want to do business in this area, you need to take huge risks.
Therefore, in Baron Kaysen's view, it is simply unbelievable that Chen Heng can bring such a large batch of goods here.
"Of course it's impossible to walk on land normally."
To Baron Kaysen's sigh, Chen Heng just smiled: "These things are all shipped by ship..."
"ferry?"
Baron Kaysen was stunned for a moment, a little unexpected: "Ship.
....Will it be dangerous? "
Of course there are ships in this world, but the technology is not developed, and various dangers are prone to occur during the navigation process.
Therefore, in Baron Kaysen's view, transporting by ship is a very risky thing.
"As long as there is no problem with the boat, it's actually not as difficult as imagined..."
Chen Heng said something, but did not specifically explain to Baron Kaysen.
Baron Kaysen nodded in understanding, but did not ask any further questions.
"What are those people with black hair?"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the black-haired man who was working hard and carrying goods in front of him, and he couldn't help but speak curiously.
"This is the black-haired tribe on the other side of the desert."
Chen Heng explained: "The north is bordered by the desert, and there are often wars, so many people are often captured and sold as slaves."
"These black-haired people are one of them."
"Compared with normal people, these black-haired people are cheaper and more hard-working, so I recruited a lot of them to act as laborers."
He opened his mouth softly and explained so.
He left these black-haired people on purpose.
In addition to all kinds of furs and special products, among the goods that the lords in the north turned over, there were also many slaves.
Many of these slaves were left behind by Chen Heng himself.
Most of the wealth he earned in Kutu City was consumed in this way.
As a traveler, Chen Heng knows the importance of power better than anyone.
Power can be divided into individual and collective.
Personally, as a knight, he has practiced the knight breathing technique and the body forging technique, and he has done a good job.
As for the collective, it is to develop its own team
In this regard, on the one hand, he chose to befriend the nobles in Kutu City, and on the other hand, he also recruited slaves to expand his own power.
