Chapter 769 Earl Honglie
Chapter 769 Earl Honglie
After deciding who would go to the Earl's Palace, everyone started choosing gifts.
They took out a copy of everything they had brought, and finally chose an exquisite silk gift box, a set of tea sets, an embroidered round fan, and tea leaves.
After making sure there were no problems, they put on more formal clothes, rented a carriage in advance and had Yunhe drive it. After asking for directions, they headed towards Earl Honglie's castle.
When they arrived at the castle gate, the butler was already waiting for them. When he saw them, he had someone open the castle gate and asked them to park the carriage at the designated place.
Yun He helped Qiu and the others get off the carriage: "Master, I will wait for you and the young master here."
Xile is Qiu He's son today.
Qiu He nodded, took John and Xile with the gifts, and followed the old butler into the castle.
Yunhe waited until there was no one around, asked Mantou to find out the news, and then knocked on the inside of the carriage to let the two people hiding under the bench come out.
As soon as Zong Le'an came out, he gasped for breath: "I'm really suffocating."
Yun He looked around. The Earl's carriage was parked here and there was no one else around. If they wanted to sneak in, they would have to see who they could disguise themselves as.
But they were not in a hurry. They still needed to wait for Mantou and Xile to give them the message, otherwise any rash action would likely bring unnecessary trouble.
Earl Hong Lie was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw Qiu He, he was very enthusiastic: "Welcome to you, my guest from afar."
John was there to translate.
Qiu He also greeted Earl Hong Lie enthusiastically when he saw him: "The Earl's castle is so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful house."
Hong Lie looked at Qiu and his son who were looking around like two country bumpkins, and patted his beer belly with some pride: "I'll take you to visit my castle."
Qiu He's face was full of surprise: "Really? It's really my honor. When I return to my country, I will definitely tell them that this is the most beautiful castle I have ever seen."
Count Honglie's face became even more smug.
He took them to visit his castle, starting from the top watchtower.
"You can see all my territories from here."
Qiu He continued to flatter him: "This is so beautiful. The Earl is such an excellent lord."
Xile was surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself that Mr. Qiu must have heard a lot of flattery like this before, otherwise what would happen if he said this?
Count Honglie was very happy to be coaxed by him: "You are such a good friend."
He then took them downstairs and introduced to them who lived on each floor.
Qiu He was a little surprised: "Are your family members not in the castle today?"
"They have all gone to the capital of the empire. I have something else to do so I will leave later." Earl Hong Lie said briefly.
"Your capital is already very beautiful, but it's a pity that we have to go back and can't go to see it." Qiu He said with some regret.
"My friends, are you leaving?" Count Hong Lie looked at him in surprise.
Qiu He nodded: "The goods we brought have not been sold. It has been delayed for too long. I plan to try my luck somewhere else."
When Count Hong Lie heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. If he had invited her later, she would have missed it.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry my friend, I am very interested in your goods, you can sell them to me."
Qiu He said happily: "You are such a generous earl."
At this time they came to the second floor, where there was a room with two guards standing there.
Qiu He took a curious look and didn't ask any more questions.
Count Honglie was even more satisfied with his tactfulness: "I heard that you brought me gifts, I am looking forward to seeing them."
At this time, two mice ran past their feet and ran towards the room where the guard was.
Earl Hong Lie's face turned extremely ugly, and he turned to look at the guard at the door: "Quickly catch these two annoying guys, they scared my guests."
He looked at Qiu He apologetically and said, "I'm sorry that some troublesome animals have run into the castle."
