Chapter 1321 Ilsa's Plan

As soon as Kong Nan finished speaking, Charles immediately shouted to Kong Nan with a smile on his face:

"Yes!"

"The central envoy is waiting for our reply outside!"

"The central government now has a trade related to salt and wants to cooperate with us!"

"His Majesty invites you to the Baiyang Palace tonight to have dinner with her and discuss this cooperation in detail!"

"Sir, what do you think? Do you want to agree?"

"Of course!" Kong Nan said cheerfully, "Go and reply to the central envoy outside - I will definitely attend the appointment on time tonight!"

The trade related to salt is a huge trade.

The benefits that can be gained from this are quite astonishing.

The center of the Britannia Empire rarely cooperates with other forces related to salt.

In Kong Nan's memory, the last time he had salt-related cooperation with the central government was almost eight years ago.

With such a good deal in front of Kong Nan, of course Kong Nan would not let it slip away in vain.

After receiving Kong Nan's order, Charles turned around and prepared to reply to the central envoys who were waiting outside.

Kong Nan didn't notice that after Charles turned around, something strange appeared on Charles' face.

…

…

That night——

Kong Nan kept the appointment on time and came to Baiyang Palace.

Ilsa prepared a luxurious banquet for Kong Nan in the banquet hall.

Because tonight's banquet is mainly to discuss cooperation with Kong Nan in detail, the only people attending this meeting are Ilsa and Kong Nan.

The two had a very pleasant conversation about cooperation.

After just chatting for a while, the two reached a consensus on cooperation.

For the rest of the time, the two simply chatted.

As the contemporary patriarch of the Wren family, Kong Nan is a very talkative person, so even if the banquet is very small, with only him and Ilsa, Kong Nan can still make the atmosphere of the banquet lively. , chatting with Ilsa.

After feasting and feasting, this extremely small banquet gradually came to an end.

…

…

"Your Excellency Kong Nan."

When the banquet was about to end, Ilsa suddenly spoke to Kong Nan in a cordial and enthusiastic tone.

"This trade cooperation is a long-lost cooperation between us and you, so let's give each other gifts as a commemoration!"

After saying that, Ilsa took the long sword that had been at her side early in the morning.

"This is the sword that I entrusted the royal blacksmiths to forge. Come, Your Excellency Kong Nan, please accept it."

Ilsa handed the long sword in her hand towards Kong Nan.

And Kong Nan immediately took the long sword handed over by Ilsa with fear and fear.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Excellency Kong Nan, please take out the sword and take a look."

"yes!"

Kong Nan slowly pulled out the long sword from its scabbard.

The snow-white sword body and golden hilt are all inlaid with precious stones.

Although the sword body and hilt are inlaid with precious stones, it does not give people a sense of exaggeration at all.

The center of gravity, length, and weight are all perfect.

Kong Nan liked this long sword very much and couldn't put it down, playing with it in his hand.

"How do you like it? Your Excellency Kong Nan, do you like it?"

"Yeah! I like it!" Kong Nan confessed directly, "What a sword!"

After saying that, Kong Nan put the long sword back into its sheath.

According to Ilsa, they gave each other gifts to commemorate their cooperation.

Now Ilsa has given her gift, the long sword, to Kong Nan.

It was Kong Nan's turn to give his gift.

However, because the incident happened suddenly, Kong Nan never thought of exchanging gifts with Ilsa, so he didn't bring anything decent to serve as a gift to the banquet.

In desperation, Kong Nan could only take out his pure gold pocket watch set with many gems.

"Your Majesty, I commissioned a master watchmaker to make this pocket watch for me.

"

"Although I have used it for many years, because I usually take good care of this watch, this watch is still very beautiful and as good as new."

"If Your Majesty does not dislike it, please accept it."

"Wow, what a beautiful watch!"

Ilsa accepted the gold watch handed over by Kong Nan with surprise.

Looking at Ilsa with a happy face, Kong Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

——Great... It seems that His Majesty likes this watch very much...

Ilsa gave him such a beautiful sword. If he didn't give him an equally beautiful gift that would make Ilsa happy, then he would lose face.

…

…

Kong Nan carried the long sword presented by Ilsa and walked out of the banquet hall in a happy mood under the guidance of the waiter.

As soon as Kong Nan left the banquet hall, the smile on Ilsa's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"His Majesty."

Camille's body flashed out from the side door of the banquet hall.

"I successfully obtained Kong Nan's personal belongings."

"Kong Nan really gave me a good gift..."

Ilsa sneered and played with the gold watch in her hand.

"Kong Nan has been using this gold watch for many years...a perfect gift."

After saying that, Ilsa threw the pocket watch in her hand towards Camille.

Camille also accurately caught the pocket watch thrown by Ilsa.

"Camille, let's do it."

"Deal a fatal blow to the Rennes family."

…

…

The next day——

"Your Mightiness."

"Huh?" Kong Nan looked at Charles who was looking serious in front of him with confusion, "Charles, what's the matter? Why do you look so serious?"

"Your Excellency...want to go back to your hometown for a while."

"I just received a letter from my hometown - my daughter's condition has worsened."

"I want to go back to my hometown to see my daughter."

"Is your daughter's condition getting worse?" Kong Nan frowned.

Kong Nan also knew something about Charles' family situation.

Charles' wife and daughter currently live in his old home.

His daughter, who is only 14 years old this year, fell seriously ill a few years ago and has not recovered yet.

Kong Nan did not expect that Charles' daughter's condition not only did not improve, but also worsened.

Charles has been with him for many years and has always worked hard without complaint, and indeed he has not rested for a long time.

So Kong Nan nodded readily.

"Okay, then I'll give you two months of vacation."

"You should hurry back to your hometown and see your daughter."

After saying that, Kong Nan took out a large stack of Yinglang from his pocket.

"Consider this as your travel expenses. I'll lend you the horse as well. Go home in peace."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

…

…

Charles rode his horse and rushed out of Pendragon.

But his destination is not his hometown.

But - Leif City.

And the things he carried were not just the travel expenses given by Kong Nan.

And...Kong Nan's gold watch.
