Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

Yu Cheng and the Deputy Director of the Honglu Temple looked at each other and did not dare to continue the conversation.

Only Yuan Congqian seemed to agree happily. After a few words, he and Fanzu Jinping were arm in arm. When the ship was about to land, he was already cursing the Suokawa Guangyuan regime with Fanzu Shaonan.

"I laugh at the lack of strategy of General Guang Yuan and the lack of wisdom of Minister Guang Yan! The East Country is divided into two countries, and they do not communicate with each other, resulting in the shadow of the Ursus barbarians often appearing in the north, but they still confront each other from north to south. How regrettable."

He lamented repeatedly about the confrontation between the North and the South in the East Country, his voice so sharp that it was hard for anyone to listen.

At the landing port, Yuan Congqian saw what they were hiding in the night.

The people were not living near the sea or in the mobile cities, but in the countryside around Hoashi Domain.

Yu Cheng and his companions couldn't find the Dongguo civilians at first because there was no light at all.

Their pale faces were worse than those of serfs, their bodies were haggard, their clothes were tattered and barely covered, and they lived in ramshackle huts where even the lights couldn't be turned on. Their main source of food was the swill from the mobile city.

It is not uncommon for poor people to live in a settlement, but what is uncommon is that it appears at the foot of a mobile city. Logically speaking, a mobile city has a large demand for labor and high productivity, so people should not have to worry about food and clothing no matter what they do.

Noticing the village that Yuan Congqian was looking at, Fanzu Jinping smiled and said:

"Normally, the area around Hoashi Domain is brightly lit. Recently, there was only a minor disaster. Their fields were not polluted, and they were able to continue to survive, all thanks to the Onmyoji of the Domain and the magicians of Ogamo Shrine."

"That's all? You just leave them alone?"

"Of course I will. Why not? Yesterday I asked these people at the foot of Fancheng to pay the business tax and head tax."

He pointed to another prosperous town and introduced: "Follow Hanami-koji and you will reach the most prosperous town under the Hoashi Domain. Samurai like to drink there and stay overnight directly in the flowers or on the painted boats."

And if one could no longer make a living, the future path of life would be very clear. One could either join the religion as a believer of no rank, who could be dragged out to fill the ditches at any time, or become a serf serving the warriors of the middle-class aristocracy.

Yuan Congqian could not see many ordinary Dongguo people walking on the streets. They were either residents opening shops or groups of warriors, all carrying swords.

Samurai are a high-spending group. They get rewards from the mobile city and spend money on the red-light district under the mobile city, which has become a unique way of economic circulation.

The officials of Yan State have become numb. They did not expect the faces of the Dong people to be so blatant. This is the foot of the mobile city, and with the ocean as a supplementary source of income, these residents are still so poor. It is really hard for them to say.

Stepping onto the entrance to the moving city, we were getting farther and farther away from the ground and the ocean, and the huts gradually disappeared from view.

Instead, you can directly see the palace where the most magnificent daimyo of the Hoashi domain lives. The golden steps, red pillars, white walls, pavilions, towers, flying eaves and pointed corners are all in the style of a pure Yan-style palace. Even Chen Yan Changsheng Palace is not as pure as theirs.

The city was clean, officials walked elegantly on both sides of the street in wide sleeves, and there was no trace of refugees or dirt. Even at night, the city was still brightly lit, festival floats slowly moved on the street, and lively people clapped their hands and sang songs.

In a private room of a restaurant where Yan country food is prepared.

Yu Cheng looked at the feast of wine, meat and fish in front of him and clapped his chopsticks:

"How can I eat this?"

"Yu Shaoqing, don't forget the purpose of our visit."

The Deputy Director of the Honglu Temple gave a reminder.

They did not really come to Fanzu Domain for tourism, but to find out the truth about Fanzu Domain.

Judging from the current performance, they don't seem to need to worry about the Hozu clan at all. This is a completely aristocratic city. Only small and medium-sized nobles who are attached to the Hozu clan are qualified to live in the city, and their combat capabilities are worrying.

Chapter 192: The Hozu Daimyo is a Female Devil

There was a knock on the door, and Fanzu Jinping walked in: "Everyone, the daimyo is already waiting on the top floor of Xingyu Wangyue Tower. I would like to ask those who can speak with me to come with me to see the daimyo and discuss maritime trade."

He originally wanted to say hello, because the identities of the people were not enough to meet the daimyo of Fanzu Domain directly. But the daimyo specifically reminded him that the people who came were not the style of the Wang family of Langyi, and he should not treat them with condescension.

Except for the young Feilin in the middle, the others seemed to be nothing special. The two officials from Langyi seemed a bit dignified, but the officials who were hanging out with Wang were only dignified on the surface.

Seeing Yuan Congqian standing up, Fanzu Jinping said, "You can also bring one or two more guards."

"No need." Yuan Congqian tied the little pudding around his waist.

Just by taking a look at the shape of the small pudding, Fanzu Jinping knew it was a good knife.

He became interested and asked another question: "Famous forging! Do you know the name of the sword?"

Dongguo people do not distinguish between knives and swords. Due to the actual combat needs, double-edged swords are rarely seen. To them, the single-edged small pudding is the long sword used by samurai, and it is definitely a famous sword.

Yuan Congqian thought for a moment and said, "The name of the knife is Little Pudding."

Fanzu Jinping thought that he was not good at speaking Yan country and had misheard. What was this little pudding? Considering the order from the daimyo, he could only drop the topic and take Yuan Congqian to see the daimyo, thinking about the little pudding all the time.

Yuan Congqian followed behind and began to imagine what the daimyo would look like in his mind.

The name of Xingyu Wangyue Tower is very elegant, and the interior decoration is also the same as that of a high-end restaurant in Yan State, except that the calligraphy and paintings are works of scholars from the Eastern State. In addition, the name of the city lord is here, and the steps are full of warriors with their arms around their chests.

He first knew the name of the daimyo from Naruto. In his mind, he imagined an aristocratic figure holding a paper fan half-covering his face, making a high-pitched and thin voice like a crane's cry, and an ugly figure with a greasy face and a fat head.

When receiving guests in a restaurant, one should wear casual clothes, such as hunting clothes, straight robes, etc.

As Yuan Congqian recalled the Japanese costume dramas he had watched, Fanzu Jinping stopped and said, "It's upstairs."

He stood at the side of the door with other fierce-looking warriors.

The warriors looked at Yuan Congqian with unfriendly eyes, and they were eager to see him. Yuan Congqian twisted his fingers, and a hole suddenly appeared in the wall next to the warriors' ears. It was so fast that they couldn't hear the sound of the chopping. They were immediately terrified and almost screamed.

"Heh." Yuan Congqian smiled and shook his head, then went up to the top floor alone.

In such a big city, including the samurai and ninjas in the dark, is this the only level of people responsible for protecting the city lord?

This gave Yuan Congqian an illusion that even without using Nightmare Khan's long sword and Seven Star Dragon Abyss, he could use Originium skills to go in and out of Fanzu Faction seven times. As the saying goes, a knight breaks the law with force, and his mentality will indeed change as his force increases.

When he reached the door, the echoing sound of stringed instruments suddenly stopped.

The door is half-open, and you can see the scenery directly.

A woman in gorgeous clothes sat alone on the open rooftop, with an elegant and plump posture, fragrant clothes, a faint smile on her lips, and under the moonlight, her eyelids glowed with the colorful luster of lateral line scales. She was wearing a complex gown made of layers of thin hems, and her huge sticky fish tail gently slapped the ground, as if keeping the rhythm of the major tune she was humming.

The woman in front of him didn't look like the mayor of a moving city, but rather like a spirit from folklore who came to repay a favor. Her clothes and makeup were also more similar to those of a graceful Tang Dynasty concubine.

She suddenly turned around and said in a clear voice, "Since you are here, why are you hesitating at the door?"

Yuan Congqian did not hesitate and pushed the door open and walked in, looking like a gangster.

Looking closer, he could see that Fanzu Daimyo was younger than he had imagined, and only a few years older than Yuan Congqian. Her skin was just like fish flesh, so tender that it seemed translucent, with occasional fish scales and fins dotted on it.

She waved the Kagura bell in her hand, and a row of bubbles fell from the sky, blocking out the noise of the samurai behind the door.

Without being disturbed by outsiders, she was obviously relaxed. She placed her bare feet next to the wine jug on the table. Even though the hem of her skirt had slipped down to her calves, she looked unconcerned.

"I think it's you who caused the Ursus people to experience so many strange phenomena."

"Ursus himself is not normal."

Yuan Congqian briefly avoided the question.

"Even after I asked you this, you still want to shirk your influence. It doesn't seem like you want to include the Hoashi clan in your overall planning. Or are you actually surprised that I know you?"

Fanzu Daimyo crossed his legs, turned his back to Yuan Congqian, and spoke in a lazy tone.

She picked a piece of foam from the air, folded it with her slender hands for a moment, and it became a foam bird. The foam bird went into the darkness and disappeared immediately, leaving only a small piece of color to show that there was still a creation of the Originium Art here.

She smiled and said, "How many times has Mayor Yuan noticed my magic?"

Although she was an adult, for some reason, Fanzu Daimyo gave Yuan Congqian the feeling of a female devil.

It's like a young girl in seclusion who has not experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature for a long time, and is trying to make others laugh in a self-righteous way.

If she really knew Yuan Congqian's information, she would not have been so rude to him.

It can only be a slap in the face and pretend to be rich.

Yuan Congqian himself was a "thief Yuan" who was good at deceiving people through other people's imaginations, so how could he be deceived by Fanzu Daimyo's tricks? This trick was too naive in front of him, so naive that Yuan Congqian wanted to laugh.

"Not once."

Yuan Congqian's unhesitating and unromantic words directly blocked Fanzu Daimyo's words in his throat.

He pretended to be enlightened: "So the Daimyo's Origin Stone technique is so hidden and powerful. The direction of the three types of arrows of Yumen's technique, Breaking Delusion, Leaving Misfortune, and Exorcism, should be self-evident."

"......" Fanzu Daimyo tightened his toes and stopped talking.

It felt like a female ghost was killed by just one sentence.

She paused for a while before answering, "If your country wants an explanation for these old events, the original arrows will definitely not be returned in full. And if you want to share the research results, the Hozu clan also has some ideas..."

"Not enough. I heard that the Hozuki clan is from the Agor clan and has advanced industrial shipbuilding experience?"

Yuan Congqian's true colors were revealed.

The attitude of the Hoashi domain daimyo who wanted to settle the matter privately actually fulfilled his wish.

If they really resorted to diplomatic channels to resolve the issue, it was unknown how long the wrangling would last. The attitude of the Hozu Daimyo was exactly the same as his. However, the price she wanted to pay was a little small, so small that Yuan Congqian felt like he had come here for nothing.

"You are asking for a price right away. This is not the right way to do business. If your country does not want to send troops, please do not use these words to intimidate me. If the Fanzu clan does not accept your conditions, I don't know how long it will take you to explore the ocean currents in the East China Sea again."

Yuan Congqian asked in a strange and puzzled manner: "Mr. Daimyo, do you think that if Fanzu Fan doesn't want to trade, it can stop trading? There is an old saying in Yan State: If the two masters are not happy, they have nothing to entertain themselves. I am willing to exchange what I have for what I don't have!"

"I don't know, does the Daimyo know the meaning of this?"

Chapter 2 I am here for sea trade, what are you going to do (5k)

"I hope the Daimyo can be more reasonable. Stealing the special arrows of Da Yan is not a child's game in the East Country, so don't think about getting away with it. If Ursus wants to wage war against the East Country, Yan Country can't stop it. We can only act as an intermediary to help you with small tasks such as redeeming prisoners of war after the war!"

The threat in Yuan Congqian's words was about to overflow.

Daimyo Fanzu never thought that such a freak would appear in Yan Country.

He was completely unlike the Da Yan officials who had visited the Hozu Domain before. He did not bring classics, history, and industrial technology, but instead brought a long sword, and threatened Ursus in front of her that he would invade the Hozu Domain.

The officials of the Honglu Temple of Yan State have always been known for their moderation. They just don't express their opinions. They can make many concessions to avoid war, because the Yan people really don't think foreign affairs are very important. They arrogantly believe that Great Yan is enough.

Fanzu Daimyo had thought of many ways to show his power, all of which were prepared for Yuan Congqian.

Because he was a young noble, she had plenty of ways to tease him slowly.

The Origin Stone Technique only collected a small part of the information, such as Langyi's change of the sky, the Wang family's Yi tribe, and the Duke of Wei presiding over the Wang family's major case. Not to mention the distance of Dahuang City, there are Shenwu troops everywhere, and it is impossible to put magic creations in it.

She wanted to decide what attitude Fanzu Fan would take in the matter of opening the sea in Da Yan based on the conditions of Yuan Congqian that she had explored step by step. But the result was obviously not what she expected.

"Wait, why has it developed to this point? Ship technology is actually not important, we can talk about it later!..."

Fanzu Daimyo no longer cared about the offense in Yuan Congqian's previous words. She just wanted to calm the person down first.

The two masters are unhappy and have nothing to amuse themselves. They are willing to exchange what they have for what they don't have.

This sentence was written by Maodun Chanyu to Empress Lü in Yuan Congqian's previous life. What does it mean? We are the monarchs of the Han and Xiongnu countries, one man and one woman. We both have nothing to entertain ourselves. I am willing to use what I have to fill what you don't have.

Yuan Congqian narrowed his eyes:

"The ship technology belongs to you Agors after all, so let it be. Da Yan is not one of those robbers in the core circle who rob people by trickery, and it would be too rude to force it on the Hoashi clan."

"Village Head Yuan! Maritime trade maps, shipping routes, and ship technology are all negotiable. Why use this method to intimidate the Fanzu clan?" The Fanzu Daimyo understood the meaning of his words: Even if you offer them to me, I won't want them. They will be more attractive as trophies.

The Daimyo Hoshida waved his wide sleeves that were much longer than her arms, stood up and said anxiously:

"They are just a few ships! The core circle of Western barbarians rely on high-speed road-running ships. The ocean dreadnought's continuous source stone cannon technology can also be applied to road-running ships!"

"The Fanzu clan has always wanted to connect with Yan Country through the ocean. The Southern Dynasty is closer to Yan Country, but has forgotten the tribute and learning from it a hundred years ago. I think this is a big mistake. The Fanzu clan will never do this!"

Now, it was her turn to persuade Yuan Congqian to accept her conditions.

How come this young man has absolutely no regard for the etiquette of the two countries?

She was still abiding by the reception etiquette handed down from Yan Country, and only bargained a little bit, but she didn't expect Yuan Congqian to overturn the table and ask her directly with a knife in hand whether she would do it or not! Is there a way to negotiate like this?

"No, that's not what you're talking about."

Yuan Congqian shook his finger at her and said, "It seems that it is a little late for Lord Daimyo to remedy the situation, because I found that Fanzu Clan actually has no influence in the East China Sea. Now, Lord Daimyo has to show me how important Fanzu Clan is to Dayan."

The Daimyo Hoashi felt dizzy.

This is really disgusting, how could there be an alliance between Yan Country and Ursus?

If they form an alliance, what will happen to the East Country, which borders only these two countries? The other party can threaten the Hoshi clan with just one person, and the Hoshi clan must also consider whether his threat is real. If they play a little psychological game, they will die.

She shouldn't have agreed to meet Yuan Congqian in Fanzu Fan. Originally, if Yuan Congqian didn't come, she still had a chance to pretend to be a tiger in front of the Yan people. Now that people have seen that you are a cat slave, what is there to pretend?

If Ursus really went south to invade the East Country, due to the face of Yan Country, Ursus might not do anything inhumane to the local people. After half a year, the small nobles surrendered and waited for Yan Country to mediate.

The little nobles are fine, but the rule of their Fanzu clan is over!

"Come on, Lord Daimyo, show me." Yuan Congqian walked behind Daimyo and waited slowly. The brown film tail swung behind him, casting a shadow in the moonlight.

"I..." Daimyo Hoashi tightened the Kagura bell in her hand.

The daimyo's beautiful eyes, which shone with the luster of scales, were filled with regret for his own mistake.

She bit her lip and lowered her head.

Yuan Congqian glanced at her movements. Did she realize that a small country has no diplomacy and was ready to accept her fate, or was she ready to fight to the death, with candlelight and axe shadows, and attack him tonight?

Fanzu Daimyo was no fool. She had become the head of a family at a young age, and was obviously worthy of praise in the East Country. Unfortunately, she was facing Yuan Congqian this time, who saw through the details of Fanzu Domain at a glance.
