On April 17, 133 years of the new calendar, a new round of trade negotiations between Twenty-Nine Village and Liangyue City began at Nami Castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 29 villages are in an alliance with the Shrine, and according to the terms of the covenant, the Shrine Society will send shrine maidens to the 29 villages, and the 29 villages must send troops to support the shrine when they need military assistance.

According to the content of the covenant, once Kamijin Prefecture and other forces go to war, Rimi Shrine will unconditionally participate in the war, and vice versa.

Kamijin Prefecture belongs to the autonomous forces, but it is legally part of Nagayama Province. Once King Nagayama goes to war with other forces, Kamijin Prefecture must participate in the war unconditionally.

Now the relationship between the Yongshan Kingdom and Zareth is very tense, and the war between the two countries is on the verge of breaking out. Zarus was a member of the Ilibi League, and according to the laws of the Ilibi League, once an ally entered a state of war, the other allies must unconditionally support it, and the allies must send reinforcements directly.

In other words, if King Nagayama and Zareth were to go to war, then the entire Ilibi League and a considerable number of Ira's forces would be forced to join the war directly or indirectly due to various covenants. In this case, the 29 villages must make concessions in the current trade negotiations so as not to give the Tayyong people an excuse to stab them in the back.

Therefore, for Yishan, this negotiation is simpler than walking in the city lord's mansion, and it can be said that there is no difficulty. The meeting lasted only three hours before it ended, and during the negotiations, the 29 villages spit out all the benefits they had eaten during the last negotiation, including the principal and interest, which made Yishan very happy.

"Master, I still don't understand, what is the city lord going to do if he wants us to come with her?"

In the guest room of Nami Castle, the bird asked with a puzzled expression.

"We came here and stayed in the guest room all morning, and the negotiations were over, could it be that the city lord took us out to play?"

The little bird was just joking, but she really guessed Yishan's true purpose correctly - Yishan had brought Maier out to play.

On weekdays, Yishan needs to deal with various affairs of Liang Yuecheng, but she also has a lot of leisure time. But most of the time, when she was idle, Maier was not there, and when Maier was idle, she was busy, and the two rarely had the opportunity to meet. And Maier doesn't like to run to the City Lord's Mansion, if Yishan doesn't send someone to find him, he can't even think of going to the City Lord's Mansion to show his face.

Compared to the time spent with the maids, Maier and Yishan really have too little time together. Every time Maier comes back, he takes Kiki around the city, but Yishan is never invited by him.

This made Yishan feel very unbalanced. She thinks that even if she is not Meier's fiancée, and there is a cousin there, even if it is not good, she should not be inferior to a maid in terms of treatment?

This time, Yishan brought Maier to negotiate in Twenty-Nine Village, just to pretend to be public and private, and have a good time with Maier in Twenty-Nine Village, and cultivate feelings by the way. Of course, according to her own words, she just "didn't want to be inferior to a maid", and by the way, "make up for Maier, who was always bullied by me".

Of course, Yishan has another set of sayings about Maier.

"Yishan said that she wanted me to see the situation in Twenty-Nine Village, and after the meeting, she would tell me the contents of the agreement, so that I could see how much the merchants of Liangyue City could reap here within the scope of the agreement."

"That's right."

The little bird nodded as if she didn't understand. She wanted to say something more, but then she felt Kiki's warning gaze and immediately closed her mouth obediently.

There is no doubt that Kiki, the oldest of the seniors, is the head of the three maids. Although Maier did not say it explicitly, he also acquiesced in the situation, and did not see Kiki's right to discipline the two newcomers. Kiki is very strict with Xiaoye and Xiaoniao, especially in housework, and the two will be scolded for the slightest mistake.

Kiki knows Mel's personality best, she knows when to do things and when not to do them. She knew that Maier was about to think about things, so she used her eyes to warn the bird not to disturb her master anymore.

Maier does want to think about things like what to prioritize when he gets the content of the trade deal, who to bring with him, and so on.

If Mel was going out, it was impossible for all three maids to follow, he would take two with him at most. Kiki must be with her, among the remaining two maids, Xiao Ye is quiet and obedient, but she is not flexible enough; The bird is clever enough, but she's too lively for Mel to take her out.

Maier thought about it for a long time but couldn't make a decision, and in the end he could only choose to go out with Kiki only, leaving Xiaoye and Xiaoyu in the guest room to watch the house.

However, it turns out that Meier's choice doesn't matter, as Yishan doesn't want him to take any of the maids out at all.

"That...... Yishan, is it really okay for you not to bring an escort out? ”

Maier looked at Yishan, who was beside him with the clear sky on his face, and asked with some concern.

"No problem. Don't look at me like this, you can't beat me alone. ”

"Isn't it? Really? ”

"Of course it's true! If you don't use magic. ”

"I see."

Since Yishan thought that she could protect herself, Maier stopped talking and continued to walk forward with her. The two stopped at a small fruit stall on the side of the road, and Maier asked about the price of the fruit, and found that the fruit here was quite cheap, so he habitually bought some to check the color.

Mel bought some of the fruit, and the vendor put the fruit into a paper bag, which he handed to Mel. Maier felt the weight of the fruit and turned to look at Yishan.

"Yishan."

"Huh?"

"You know, in fact, guards are not only used to protect people, but also to carry things?"

"Isn't it yours when you take things?"

"Uh...... I'm not against taking things, but we're probably going to have to buy a lot of things back this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take them alone. ”

"Then I'll get it for you."

"Hah......" Maier sighed helplessly, "I don't understand, why did you tell me not to bring the maid out?" ”

Maier is accustomed to Kiki's life by his side, always sharing his worries. Now that Yishan doesn't let him bring Qiqi out, he is naturally very unaccustomed to it.

Yishan glanced at him and asked angrily.

"Would you love to bring the maid out?"

"I'm just not used to it."

"Oh, so you're used to being served by that kid, it seems that the kid is really 'well-behaved'!"

Yishan's tone of voice was sour, which made Mel feel very uncomfortable in his gums. But he didn't hear Yishan's voiceover, and thought she was praising Qiqi, so he said proudly.

"Of course, my Kiki—ah! What are you doing? ”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yishan kicked him in the calf. In the face of Meier's questioning, Yishan just "snorted", and then squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of herself. She hadn't gone far before she stopped, turned around, and clasped her hands around her waist and glared at Mel and shouted.

"Why are you still standing stupidly? Let's go! ”

"This man is unreasonable."

Mel muttered, and hurried after him with the paper bag.

Nami Castle was built on the most prosperous part of the 29 village - not so much as the most prosperous area of the 29 village was built around the Nami Castle.

Twenty-nine villages are actually dozens of villages connected together, and there are no walls on the outermost periphery. The villages were connected to each other by a large road, along which there were posts with three militiamen stationed at each post and beacon towers. As soon as a village is attacked, beacons are lit at the outpost and militias are gathered in other villages to support.

Of course, if the people of these villages are just fighting on their own, they can easily be broken by the enemy individually. Therefore, there must be a leader in the twenty-nine villages, and this leader is the owner of Nami Castle, Nami Layman.

Nami is not a human, but an Iraa youkai who is not hostile to humans, and the name Nami is her own. The longer the Irayokai lives, the stronger they become. Legend has it that Nami has lived for more than a thousand years, and even Xiaohu Tengyuan, a famous military general in Tairong, is no match for her.

At first, there were only 29 villages in the 29 villages that wanted to accept the protection of Nami laymen. They elected their representatives and went together to the thatched hut where Nami lived to ask her for help. At first, Nami didn't want to care about human affairs, but the villagers came to bother her every day, so much so that she couldn't even sleep.

In order to dismiss the villagers, she agreed with them that if they could build herself a luxurious castle within five days, she would grant their request. This request was so difficult that even Nami Monk himself felt that it was impossible for the villagers to complete this task. But after five days, the villagers actually built a castle and came out.

Although the castle did not meet the requirements of the Nami monks at all, she was impressed by the sincerity of the villagers. So she agreed to the villagers' request and promised to provide shelter to the twenty-nine villages. After that, Nami Lodge moved to the castle built for it by the villagers, and since then, the castle has become the centerpiece of Twenty-Nine Village.

Later, the villagers named the castle "Nami Castle" and added and expanded it free of charge, until all the people of that generation died, and Nami Castle became what it is today. The downtown area around Nami Castle is a free trading area planned by Nami Residence himself. It was originally used for the villagers to exchange goods, but it was used by foreign merchants as an ideal place to buy goods and dump goods, and over time it became the current downtown area.

The area of this downtown area is much larger than the commercial area of Liangyuecheng, and the variety of goods is also more than that of Liangyuecheng. Maier even saw muskets in the shops of the arms merchants, some from Ilibi, some from Dugu, and some from Mingji. There are several high platforms in the downtown area for a fee, where you can overlook the whole of the 29 villages.

Twenty-nine Village is located in a plain area, and the village starts around the downtown area and extends along the main road one by one. The settlement is surrounded by farmland, and the villages are connected to the farmland of the villages, with a fence in the middle as a dividing line. From the high platform, you can see the end of the 29th village, and there is a row of guard towers in the outermost part of the 29th village, which is the border.

"That's the road to Liangyue City, right?"

Yishan pointed to a large road that stretched to the east and shouted excitedly. On the high platform, you can see caravans moving slowly forward like moving ants, walking from east to west or west to east.

The current Yishan looks no different from ordinary girls in the downtown area, and Maier saw Yishan like this for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a little fresh, so he quipped.

"Yes, it's a pity that I can't see Liang Yuecheng."

"You're stupid! How tall is this platform! How could you see Liang Yuecheng! ”

"Yes, yes, I'm not as smart as you."

Maier habitually reached out and touched Yishan's head, and then realized that the girl in front of him was not Kiki. He thought Yishan would get angry, but he didn't want her to just blush and lower her head, let himself stroke her little head, and didn't say a word.

Well, from that point of view, this guy looks pretty cute.

Maier couldn't help but touch it for a while, until he felt that Yishan might be angry, and then quickly withdrew his hand.
