"Of course, you are already a person who can stand on your own."

Qiao Yelan smiled and nodded.

"What about me, teacher - I have grown up too."

Helinmart stared at Qiao Yelan's face closely.

"You are all equally important in my heart, and you have all grown into people that I am proud of."

He comforted his two students and laughed in his heart.

He says he is not a child anymore, but isn't he just like a child who wants to prove that he has grown up?

"Keep working hard. I am looking forward to your future. I hope you can become someone who surpasses me."

Qiao Yelan spoke the chicken soup words step by step, not caring at all that his two students might have tactically missed a word of his words just now.

Chapter 77 Preliminary Work

"Mr. Lin Guang, are you back from the banquet early?"

Qiao Yelan was somewhat surprised to see an unexpected person at the diplomatic corps’ residence.

"Please just call me by my name, Mr. Qiao Yelan. I am not yet able to bear the name of Lin Guang like my father did."

It's like a dream.

"That kind of banquet is not suitable for me. After greeting the two majesties, I left. I came back to present a formal document to the majesties of Leitania. I felt something very bad there."

"There?"

"Yes, there is a ruin not far from where the banquet was held. I heard that it used to be the tower of the Witch King Helhunzulon. Although the tower has been destroyed, I can still feel that something is there. It cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist."

Snitz's words surprised Qiao Yelan. Even Framont had to rely on hundreds of years of research and experimentation to determine the location of the subspace opening. This knight from the Linguang family could actually feel that there was something wrong there when he came here for the first time.

"Are you sure you felt that?"

He asked again.

"...Yes, I am sure. Although this may cause some diplomatic consequences and may even be considered a threat by the other party, as a knight, I will strictly abide by the virtue of integrity."

"Is that so? If you don't mind, how about you dictate the text and I draft the wording of the document for you and submit it together with you?"

Qiao Yelan extended the invitation with a smile.

The knight was surprised and waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, Mr. Qiao Yelan, this is just my business. You'd better not get involved. Don't worry, I will choose my words carefully to avoid any misunderstanding on the Leitania side."

"No, Mr. Snitzer, I mean that this document will be submitted jointly by the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Committee."

The man chuckled as he explained the mystery to the young knight.

“No matter how Leitania reacts to this document, the Chamber of Commerce will blame you for your behavior as arbitrary. And if this incident triggers an even worse reaction, then all the problems in this diplomacy will be pushed onto you.”

"Of course, as a Silver Spear Pegasus, these impeachments and difficulties will not affect you, but they will be used as bullets to shoot at your father. Dirty politics is different from bloody battles. There is no blood here, but it is much more cruel than the clash of swords."

Having said that, Snitz could no longer find any reason to object. What's more, before coming here, his father had told him to do less, talk less, and cooperate more with Qiao Yelan.

"I understand, Mr. Qiao Yelan - thank you very much."

Qiao Yelan smiled and nodded.

The eldest son of the Linguang family actually has such an extraordinary talent. We can't let him get away - we have to find a way to lure him up the mountain.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

The atmosphere at the meeting three days later was extremely harmonious.

Qiao Yelan directed Nicholas to carry out war blackmail, which was not only aimed at the nobles of the Heidenschwil region, but also at the rulers of Casimir.

Each side holds something the other wants. Trilintelme needs a lot of resources and funds, while the Supervisory Council hopes to have a comrade-in-arms who can fight shoulder to shoulder with them. Privately, the Chamber of Commerce also hopes to open up Leithania's commercial channels.

Therefore, whether it was the open treaty or the secret transaction, the progress was extremely smooth.

Snitz Lingguang obtained an offensive and defensive alliance treaty, the Mieszko Group received a large construction order, Bain's Rose Newspapers obtained special recruitment qualifications, and other business groups also obtained a number of investment opportunities that seemed to have "bright prospects".

And Qiao Yelan also got what he wanted.

The trade routes of Ursus, Lethania and Casimir have been opened, and the trade route he prefers has been connected by half. The planning of Longmen Coin can now be officially put on the agenda.

After Snittz was appointed as Casimir's ambassador to Leithania with a confused look on his face, Qiao Yelan had already begun preparing for the next good show.

However, before that, he had to block an audience member who didn't know the inside story.

"You're going to Dayan?"

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon. This is the most important festival of the year in Da Yan. People from all over the country have to maintain good relationships at this time. These two years are the first two years of the new emperor's reign, so I must go there in person."

Qiao Yelan's face was full of apology.

Kashena nodded silently. She knew why Qiao Yelan told her this - unlike going to other countries, only in Dayan, she didn't dare to go deep into its borders.

God knows why a country would build a mobile city-level fortress just for the purpose of hunting giant beasts. It is really extravagant to the extreme!

She remembered that the city was called [Yumen], and in addition to the mobile city, there were more troublesome things in Dayan.

Heavenly Master.

The existence of Heavenly Masters predates the time when Dayan established the Tianji Pavilion in the northern border. From officials to civilians, everyone treats these highly respected and powerful people with utmost respect.

What’s more important is that there are many immortals among these heavenly masters.

Therefore, even the Black Snake does not dare to say how many Heavenly Masters he can deal with. After all, the longer you live, the more knowledge you have and the stronger you become. The more knowledge and power you have, the more in awe of that knowledge and power you will have.

"It just so happens that I need to digest what you taught me, and by the way, I also need to try out new methods myself - when you come back from Dayan, send someone to deliver a letter to my Grand Duke's Mansion, and I will come back to find you."

"It's a word."

Qiao Yelan smiled and nodded.

"Do you have any body support equipment here?"

"Hmm...Babel should have two sets of bases set up in Trillintermez. Do you want to use them?"

"Well, I want to leave this body here. After all, it is more convenient for me to move in the form of a black snake, and I can get here faster. And I don't want to expose this body, after all, I will have to stay by your side later."

"No problem, I'll just sign it for you and you can go ahead and call it."

The man took out a piece of paper, wrote an order, signed it and handed it to Kashena.

Watching the other person leave, his expression calmed down again.

If Black Snake knew about the Longmen Coin, she would definitely start to doubt herself - as compensation, I will print more Longmen Coins for her as funds in the future.

"PRTS - arrange the convoy to Dayan."

【receive. 】

"Before that, let's go to Longmen first."

【Yes. 】

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"Wei Yanwu, what is your current situation?"

Qiao Yelan put down the teacup in his hand.

When he came two months ago, the old guy opposite was still bragging and chatting with him, and the two sides were on equal terms.

Now, the only word left on Adams' face was "submissive".

"It's terrible. The accountability between the Great Yan capital and Victoria is getting tighter day by day. Victoria's side is easy to deal with, but the trouble in the capital is much bigger. Some time ago, we found a few suspicious people from the Great Yan who came to Longmen. We guess they are spies of the emperor."

"It's an open conspiracy - these people are here to test Wei Yanwu's reaction."

"Yes, so we didn't move at all, but arranged for someone to monitor it."

Qiao Yelan frowned and looked at Adams.

"You didn't report this to your superiors?"

"I have reported it. Wei Yanwu ordered this."

A sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.

It seems that this guy is also worried and confused - now he is somewhat flustered and entangled, which led to him doing such a thing.

"Is it wrong to do so?"

"Of course not - you should arrest these people, investigate them, and then let them go after the investigation."

"what?"

Adams was confused.

"Catching them for investigation shows that you are capable of supervising Longmen, and Wei Yanwu has done a good job; releasing them after investigation shows that you are still loyal to the emperor and don't care what these spies can find out - these are two different things, and if you don't do either of these two things well, it will cause gossip in Luoyang."

"Now that you didn't arrest them when they came in, others can say that Wei Yanwu neglected his duties and that his subordinates were all good-for-nothings. Then if you send people to follow them, others can say that you are guilty and worried about finding evidence of rebellion."

With every word Qiao Yelan spoke, a drop of sweat appeared on Adams' head. By now, his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Of course, these are all excuses that the emperor can use when he wants to take down Wei Yanwu, but excuses cannot really bring down Wei Yanwu. So I think the emperor wants to know from these people's responses whether there is a Draco bloodline left under Wei Yanwu's command."

"So now it's...exposed?"

"Of course they were exposed - you don't think the emperor would really only send these visible people, do you? These people are just stones thrown out. After asking for directions, more people will naturally be sent in."

The man said casually.

"What should we do now? Like you said, arrest those people, investigate them, and then release them?"

"It's too late. If we do it now, it will only make things more obvious. Wei Yanwu now has only two choices. Either he uses the [Black Cape] to pull out all the emperor's men one by one - of course, that would be telling the emperor that he has rebellious intentions in his heart."

"Second, find a black glove immediately and wash away all traces of Edward so that the spies can't get any evidence. Without evidence, they can only stay at the stage of "framing"."

The old man was silent. The Shi Huaiya family was not qualified nor capable of doing such a black glove.

That leaves only...

"Tell me, how long can Wei Yanwu endure before coming to see me again?"

"I'm afraid... it's almost time to hide it no longer."

"Oh, that's too late. I want to spend the New Year in the capital of Dayan, but I don't have time to waste time with him here. Well, go and report to Wei Yanwu. He said that some people in the crowd were talking about the fact that Duke Wei's sister hasn't appeared for a long time. I'm afraid she has been locked up in the mansion because of some scandal."

Adams was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

If this news is true, it means that the spies have already set their sights on Wei Yanwu's sister - and now this princess obviously cannot withstand the investigation.

As for whether this news is true...

It doesn’t matter. What matters is that Qiao Yelan can make it come true.

By then, the spies will also realize which direction to work towards.

"I'll go right away."

"Well, by the way, tell Wei Yanwu to arrange a secret meeting. I want to meet him privately before going to Dayan Capital."

"Yes."

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Long time no see, Lord Wei."

"It's been a long time indeed, Dr. Qiao Yelan."

There was visibly fatigue on Wei Yanwu's face, which made Qiao Yelan look a little strange.

"I say, your sister probably hasn't given birth yet - let Princess Wen Yue control herself a little and don't get pregnant before your sister does. It's already a headache for me to help you deal with a child who shouldn't have been born, and now there's another one. I suggest you run away to Victoria and let Edward stand out to fight for the throne. It's much simpler than this."

"What are you talking about - it's not what you think!!!"

Wei Yanwu didn't react at first, but when he understood, he instantly became angry and embarrassed.

"It's just that I've spent too much energy dealing with the accountability from Victoria and the capital during this period!"

"Why don't you just send Edward here earlier? Why do you insist on carrying him here to protect him? If not you, who will die of exhaustion?"

The former crown prince of Dayan glanced at Qiao Yelan and said nothing.

He is just a little tired now. What Wei Yanwu is worried about is that after Edward is sent to the Tower of Babel, he might be squeezed dry by this guy in front of him until his last bit of value is exhausted.

He didn't think that what Qiao Yelan said before, "It would be easier to let Edward go out and win the throne," was a joke.
