Chapter 61 - Reply

Looking at Chen Heng in front of him, who was covered in blood and reeked of blood, Baron Myra couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, and some thoughts that had been lurking in his mind were immediately dispelled. Just as Chen Heng had thought before, originally, Baron Myra did have some bad ideas about the things Chen Heng had brought this time. However, after seeing Chen Heng's performance in front of him, these thoughts in his heart were immediately dispelled. The number of this group of bandits was no less than two hundred, and their strength was no worse than that of the guards of ordinary lords. However, with such strength, when facing Chen Heng, they were easily defeated. Judging from the scene, the process was almost like a massacre. This was a blatant threat with a butcher's knife. To be honest, although his strength was much stronger than that of this group of bandits, it might not be much better. If there was a real fight, he was afraid that he would end up like these bandits in front of him, turning into cold corpses. Thinking of this, his attitude immediately became cautious, and his expression when looking at Chen Heng also became a bit restrained. However, what reassured him was that Chen Heng didn't seem difficult to get along with at all. After experiencing a battle, he was covered in blood and looked very cold, but he was quite polite as a whole, much better than Baron Kesen's other child. Thinking of Baron Kesen's other child, Baron Myra casually asked, "Why didn't Omando come this time?" After the previous incident, Omando had become quite famous among the nearby lords. It was also because of this that Baron Myra remembered him. Obviously, though, his impression of Omando wasn't very good either. He just said this to ease the atmosphere. However, when his words fell, both Chen Heng and Baron Kesen in front of him became silent. Baron Myra couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Then he learned about the previous incident and knew that Omando had died in the battle. Suddenly, he subconsciously froze for a moment, and then was startled in his heart. He subconsciously looked at Chen Heng in front of him, and then quickly lowered his head. After that, he looked as usual and enthusiastically invited Baron Kesen and Chen Heng to visit his manor as guests. Because of what had happened to Omando, Chen Heng and Baron Kesen only stayed in his manor for one day, reached a preliminary agreement with him, and then left. After that, they returned to their own territory. Time passed slowly. As Chen Heng had expected, when the news of the previous battle spread, the nearby lords became much more obedient. Through this battle, Chen Heng successfully demonstrated his martial prowess. The nearby lords were also deterred and couldn't help but suppress some of the bad thoughts they originally had in their hearts. Then, batches of goods were continuously transported here, and batches of grain were continuously transported out of the warehouses of many lords. In Chen Heng's hands, this grain would be concentrated and transported to one place by land, and then transported to the north by water on boats until it reached Chen Heng's stronghold in the north. This was a very complicated voyage, involving many nodes. Mastering this route was currently Chen Heng's biggest advantage. With him in the south in charge, everything around developed in an orderly manner. Although there were always some accidents on the way, on the whole, things were still progressing according to the previous plan. After reaching the initial cooperation, he reached a preliminary agreement with many lords in the south. Chen Heng provided a large number of products originating from the northern desert through his own channels and distributed them to many lords according to the share. And the lords needed to settle the accounts with grain in exchange. At this moment, these agreements had only been reached preliminarily, but as the trade continued to develop, after many lords tasted the benefits of this trade, they would eventually become more and more complete and solid. And while Chen Heng continued to be busy and strived for his goals, a letter from Kutu City also arrived. "Is it Vinall's letter?" In the spacious room, looking at the letter in his hand, Chen Heng smiled and then reached out and opened the letter. "Dear Mr. Kailin..." "...Like you, I also miss you very much at home. I hope and look forward to our next meeting." "I hope that you can have a pleasant life in your hometown and also hope that you can come back as soon as possible..." ... After simply reading the letter, Chen Heng smiled and slowly put the letter away, carefully putting it aside. It seemed that his previous efforts had worked. Vinall showed quite obvious affection for him. This was very important. Although in the noble circle, in most cases, parents had the right to decide their children's marriages, the children's own wishes were also an important criterion. Especially in Vinall's situation. According to Chen Heng's observation, perhaps because of some of her own experiences, Princess Oliman doted on Vinall very much in many aspects and was willing to comply with Vinall's wishes in many aspects. In this situation, Vinall's own wishes were very important. At least, if Vinall herself strongly objected, then Princess Oliman probably wouldn't let her marry that person. Even if that person had a high status. This was different from many people. So Chen Heng having Vinall's affection at this moment was equivalent to taking the first step. As for the rest, it was about getting the approval of Princess Oliman and the court queen. For a royal princess, a girl with such a noble status, her marriage should theoretically be decided by her father, the current King of Kutu. However, according to what Chen Heng had learned, the current King of Kutu seemed to have some problems himself. He was in a coma most of the time and had very little time to be清醒 in a year. Therefore, most of the things in the court were decided by the mother of the two princesses, Oliman and Vinall, that is, the Queen of Kutu. And the Queen of Kutu attached great importance to Princess Oliman's opinions. Therefore, Chen Heng's next goal was to win over Princess Oliman. This matter was both difficult and easy. The key difficulty was how to make Princess Oliman bring it up herself. Because according to Chen Heng's estimation, with Princess Oliman's usually suspicious personality, if he was too proactive about this matter, it would easily make Princess Oliman become vigilant and think that he had ulterior motives. At that time, there would be twists and turns in the matter. Therefore, if he wanted to make this happen, he couldn't be too obvious. Preferably, he should let the other party take the initiative to propose it. Sitting in the room, Chen Heng was deep in thought. After a while, he stopped thinking and also picked up paper and a pen and began to write, preparing to write a letter to Vinall. Chen Heng was quite proficient in this. After a while, the letter was written. He carefully packaged it and handed it to the servant. "Please send it to Miss Vinall." He said softly.
