Chapter 344 Starport
After lunch, Xiao Yichen took Yu Xiaoxiang and the Beichen sisters and brothers who acted as bodyguards, and drove directly to Xinggang, on the outskirts of Shengjing, to prepare for the arrival of the Northern Qi envoys.
As expected, when Xiao Yichen walked into the starport wearing a big hat, outside the scheduled landing area of the traffic ship, the official team of the Longhan Rite Department was already ready and was communicating with the advance personnel of the Northern Qi envoy group who had arrived.
Because he was not a formal greeting, Xiao Yichen was not interested in having fun with the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been around all day, so after a few glances at them, he hid in a corner to the side, wanting to settle quietly.
"The shelves of the Northern Qi are really big, and this scale is much stronger than the White Widows and the Semu people. Standing beside Xiao Yichen, probing his brain to look at the items that the Northern Qi people kept moving from the starship, Yu Xiaoxiang, who was secretly speechless, couldn't help but sigh.
"The people of color are stingy, even on the birthday of their own monarch, some gifts from the lords everywhere are all local products, and they can't see gold and silver at all. You say, how many things will they take when they come to congratulate their father on his birthday? The white Japanese people have always been at odds with the empire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have a blood feud for generations; if it weren't for the fact that they are weak now, and the internal struggle for power and profit is very fierce, I am afraid that they would not have come to celebrate their birthday at all. That Asahi Seisuke is just here to make some political capital, and he can show off his prince's prestige when he goes back, so naturally he is pretending, as long as he can get by on his face, and most of the gifts are flashy things. After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, Xingmu turned to the Northern Qi advance team that was carrying valuable gifts like ants outside the traffic ship, "Northern Qi is different, first, Northern Qi is indeed rich, the land area is only about thirty percent of the empire, but the financial income can reach more than seventy percent of the empire. According to your words, it is a proper local tyrant country, and this bit of wealth is not a problem at all. Second, the concept and consciousness of the Northern Qi people and our Longhan people are almost the same, not to mention that there is surplus food at home, even if there is none, even if you tighten your belt, you have to go out with white rice to show off. Therefore, when they come to congratulate like this, either they don't come, and since they come, it must be a congratulatory gift for the whole ship. Three, Asahi Seisuke and Rykel are trembling in their own domestic days, and they are afraid that they will be stabbed in the back if they take one step to be careful. And Li Xian is different, he is the eldest son of the monarch of Northern Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is supported by his subjects, although his identity is similar to the other two, but the real power is completely different. The monarch of Northern Qi is a little worse than being the emperor, but it is really good to be a father, and he is also very fond of this eldest son, and now he is the main envoy, if he doesn't take something decent out, then the face of the Li family of Northern Qi will be lost. ”
"I see, no wonder there are so many people in the advance team alone. Yu Xiaoxiang looked at it curiously for a long time, and finally asked sideways: "They use people to carry everything themselves, but they don't use machines? ”
"Show off!" Xiao Yichen directly gave the most correct answer, "Think about it, if you use the guiding beam to unload the goods, it will be a few breaths of effort, who can see it? Now, this move will take two or three days, not only to show off his wealth, but also to slap the faces of the white widows and the people with colored eyes, this little bit of caution is almost on the bright side." ”
"Hee-hee, although it is a show, but they do bring a lot of things. It's great, it's always given to us anyway, the more the better. The giggling little beauty has a clear love and hate, and she is in a good mood when she wields a pink fist.
"Silly girl, these things will be returned in the future, and the gifts are still exchanged. Xiao Yichen also seemed to have succeeded in being attracted by Yu Xiaoxiang's small movements, and his handsome face, which was originally a little indifferent, had a lot more smiles at the moment.
"Hee-hee, whatever, it's ours now anyway. After Yu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, he opened his mouth and asked, "Big villain, is that Li Xian very powerful?"
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yichen thought for a while and said: "Li Xian is a literati to be precise, at least this king has never heard of what he has done in the battle array." However, this person was very smooth in government and handling the relationship between his subordinates, so he was supported by many people in Northern Qi. Don't underestimate this kind of thing that seems to be on the left and right, in fact, in the government and politics, it is often necessary to choose a side, and if you stand on the left, you can't talk to the people on the right. Therefore, this ability alone is impressive. On the other hand, this person has a good strategic vision, and while firmly supporting and maintaining friendly relations with Long Han, he also increases the defense of the star thieves in the eastern part of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and places the most elite troops on the west side, hoping to bite a piece of meat from the twenty northwestern countries when he has the opportunity. If this person ascends the throne, I am afraid that the strategy of the empire will be more difficult. However, the situation is not bad now, at least the monarch of Northern Qi will not die for a while. ”
"It turns out that this person still has some skills. Hee-hee, if you can hear the words of praise from your mouth, it means that he must have real skills. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded as if she didn't understand, but she completely agreed with Xiao Yichen's opinion.
"In your eyes, this king is so reluctant to praise others? When Xiao Yichen's eyes swept towards Yu Xiaoxiang, he didn't forget to brag about himself.
"Cut, then you can also praise the next person. People are so powerful, you don't say it's bad here all day long, it's not good there!" Yu Xiaoxiang patted his chest and immediately gave the most obvious evidence.
"Hahaha......" Xiao Yichen, who was stunned, laughed loudly, reached out to pinch his delicate cheeks, and the doting in his starry eyes was a little more.
After a little more than a stick of incense passed, the clouds in the sky were broken by the beam, and within a moment, under the traction of the beam, the luxurious golden traffic ship fell from the sky and slowly flew towards the landing area.
"Be in good spirits, don't let those Northern Qi people see the jokes. Finding that the officials who greeted the guests of the Ministry of Rites and the personnel of the advance team of the Northern Qi Dynasty had already begun to walk towards the traffic ship that was about to land, Xiao Yichen also took a step, as if he wanted to fall far behind them.
Yu Xiaoxiang and the others naturally knew that they came here today just to meet those two big men of Northern Qi, and at this moment, they would cheer up without Xiao Yichen's instructions and follow him forward.
Of course, Li Xian did not need to manage this kind of thing by himself, even if he was standing in the distance, Xiao Yichen could see that as soon as the traffic ship stopped steadily, the ladder composed of beams had already gathered near a certain cabin door, and within a moment, a pair of young men and women appeared in everyone's sight.
