Levi gladly accepted the order.

The place of receiving the messenger was also arranged in the main hall.

After Zhang Xun put on a more solemn costume, he entered the hall and waited.

The hall was empty, the same as he had seen many times before when he had not entered the eagle.

The Iron Throne, in particular, is the same as what I saw in my dreams.

Zhang Xun put on his crown and waited quietly for the messenger to come.

After waiting for a short time, I saw the guards transmitting the news.

Levi then led a man in formal attire into the main hall.

"Duran see His Majesty the King. ”

The man immediately saluted respectfully.

Zhang Xun raised his eyes and found that this Duran was still very young, probably not yet thirty years old, and he was able to serve as an envoy at this age, which was enough to see that he was deeply trusted by the king of the Eastern Realm.

Duran was a very handsome man, blonde, broad-eyed, tall, straight, and had impeccable manners, and it could be seen that he should be the son of a family with a long history.

Zhang Xun was on the throne, and after quietly looking at the other party, he smiled and said, "No need to be polite, give the seat." ”

Du Lan immediately thanked him again, and then sat down peacefully, from the time he entered to the moment he sat down, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xun.

At first glance, Duran's face finally showed a look of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xun asked with a smile.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the Eagle Yang King of the Five Kingdoms of Sonic Shock was really as young as rumored. Duran exclaimed.

Zhang Xun smiled, anyone would like it, but he never felt that he had any wisdom, what he did was just relying on the high-level civilization of Blue Star, which was nothing to be proud of.

In particular, Duran's horse-beating kung fu is not very good, what is his age, what is his appearance, can it be said that as a visiting envoy, he will not have any understanding in advance?

Knowing Zhang Xun's appearance and age for a long time, it is really boring to pretend to be amazed.

Zhang Xun couldn't help but think that if he pulled a director-level official from Lan Xingzhong casually, his horse-shooting skills were enough to be Duran's teacher.

Seeing him smile and not speak, Duran's eyes showed a vague hint of real surprise.

The young man is successful, but he has no pride.

Especially for a king, it's really rare.

With their expressions gone, Duran and Zhang Xun began to gossip as usual, and the monarchs in the Five Kingdoms were not too strict, and the conversation was relatively casual at this time.

After chatting for a while, Duran really turned the topic to Yingyang's victory over the Western Territory, and then by the way, Zhang Xun was touted again, seeing that Zhang Xun still didn't react much, Duran gritted his teeth and went straight to the point.

"This time, on behalf of the queen, I want to purchase some eagle weapons to defend the country, I don't know what you mean......"

Zhang Xun laughed, and then glanced at Levi.

The Prime Minister immediately understood, coughed, and said apologetically, "I'm afraid this matter will disappoint Her Majesty." ”

"Oh, do you mean it's reluctant?" Du Lan didn't look at the prime minister, but still stared at Zhang Xun.

"It's not a matter of reluctance, it's mainly that the output is really insufficient. Levi sighed and continued, "To be honest, the loss of the war with the western frontier on Yingyang is huge, especially the heavy financial burden, which should not be left to me, but this matter is known to all countries, the new alchemy law implemented by His Majesty the King is not yet mature, and after the whole winter war, this is the time to repair, even the loss of weapons in the army is not yet able to make up, and there is really no ability to continue to increase production." ”

Levi's tone was serious, and it wasn't entirely a lie.

"Isn't it just right that your country has a large financial burden? You produce weapons, and we buy them at a high price, so as to ease your country's finances, and get the best of both worlds. Duran said without giving up.

Levi smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "The problem is not only the money, but also the people. It is not one person who has mastered the new method of metallurgy and the method of building weapons, but the result of the joint cooperation of many alchemists, and now, these alchemists are busy understanding the alchemy method in depth, and they also have a lot of ...... The project is being done, and there is really no time to build weapons. ”

The word "project" is also a new word brought by Zhang Xun.

It appears much less frequently than "scheme", but it also has a place in the hawkish buzzword.

Duran raised his eyebrows, grinned, and said, "I have indeed heard of this, and I heard that your country has also specially established a ...... Speaking of which, before Her Majesty sent me, she had instructed me that she was very curious about the institute and wanted me to go back and give her a lecture. ”

Zhang Xun suddenly smiled and said, "This is simple, I will arrange someone to take you to visit later." ”

"Is this okay?"

"Of course. Zhang Xun said with a smile, metallurgical technology is not so easy to steal, as the first in the metallurgical industry in the five countries, Yingyang's relevant talent reserve is the strongest, so Zhang Xun is completely not afraid of Duran's visit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but if I just go back with this news, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Her Majesty. Duran let out a sigh and pulled the conversation back up.

For the first time, he looked directly at Zhang Xun.

This was already a bit rude, but it also showed that he was expressing his determination, and Duran, or the Eastern Kingdom behind him, was very dissatisfied with Eagle Yang's reply.

When we fought in the war before, we didn't give you less money and food as an ally, but now that we have won, we won't give you any benefits, which is too much.

Duran thought to himself, his face still humble, but his gaze showed a little determination.

"This ......," Levi looked at the throne with some embarrassment.

Zhang Xun, who was on the throne, still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't see Du Lan's eyes, but suddenly said, "I understand this very well, I am extremely grateful for the support of the Eastern Territory in the previous war, the Eastern Territory has not broken its promise, and still treats Yingyang as an ally as when my father was alive, I can see this, and the entire people of Yingyang also see it, and we will not be stingy with friends." ”

Duran looked at the young monarch suspiciously, frowning widely, puzzled.

"In that case, then our request ......"

Zhang Xun waved his hand, interrupting Duran's words, he pursed his lips before saying, "In terms of weapons, we really can't afford to provide them, but I won't chill our allies either." Hmm, I've heard that the current textile cloth in the East is selling very well, and the supply exceeds the demand, right?"

Duran was interrupted, but when asked about it, he could only nod his head and answer calmly: "That's true, especially after we opened a new trade route the year before last, it was in great demand. ”

It's no secret.

"Good. Zhang Xun exclaimed inexplicably, and then he smiled again, "But I have also heard that most of the textile industry in your country falls into the hands of major noble merchants, and as for the property of the royal family in the east, it seems that ...... That's a little worse, isn't it?"

Duran's complexion changed slightly.

It's no secret, either, but what do you do when you bring it up in a meeting with yourself?

"Don't be impatient, the Eagle Yang royal family has no disrespect for the eastern royal family. ”

"Then what do you mean by that, Your Majesty?"

"It's very simple, recently I got another revelation from the God of Creation, and obtained a plan that can greatly increase the speed of cotton spinning, I don't know, does the queen have intentions?" Zhang Xun said lightly.
