"Alright, what do you need to do to get Eric's castle to you? Ziyan asked.

"This needs to be applied to the Minister of the Empire. The queen said, "But because our side is too poor, the ministers have not been here for many years, and they do not want to come, and if they want to see it, it will definitely not be in my name." ”

"Well...... It's troublesome......" Ziyan frowned, and then looked at Baron Eric: "Then you go to the minister, right?"

"I can't do it either......" Eric looked helpless: "I'm just a well-developed baron, at least I have to be a prince to meet the minister......"

"No wonder ......" Ziyan finally knew why this baron cared so much about Muxmubai's royal title.

Ziyan thought for a while, staring at Mux Mubai.

"You... What do you see me doing?" Muxmubai took a few steps back with his hands in front of his chest.

“...... It's nothing. Ziyan raised his forehead slightly, although this Mux Mubai seems to be a trustworthy person, he is also stupid and incapable, and Eric is a very capable guy at first glance, but he can't be trusted, if he lets Mux Mubai manage Eric, it will definitely not work.

"Mu Bai. ”

"It's Muxmubai. ”

"It's too long. Ziyan rubbed his nose.

"Then whatever you want. The Queen rolled her eyes.

"That's right, I thought about it, and I don't think it makes sense to ask for your city, so I have an idea, I hope that the two of you can trade with each other, so that Eric can temporarily take over this port city, how about it?"

When Eric heard this, he was stunned, is there such a good thing?

"Why?" Mux Mubai was a little dissatisfied: "You believe him more, he is a treacherous villain, and he has deceived several cities in my hands with other princes." ”

"No, no, no, I'm just talking about a temporary takeover, trust me, okay? If Eric does anything, I'll sanction him. ”

"Yes, leave it to me, I'm sure I'll take care of it. Eric laughed.

Mux Mubai frowned: "He will definitely do something to the ledger, are you sure?"

"I'm sure and sure, I've decided to leave the right to do business to Eric for a long time, and as for the ledgers and the like, you can't let us look at it, how about it?"

"Absolutely. Eric nodded.

"Okay, I hope you can do better, goodbye, both. Ziyan left the castle and prepared to go back to the imperial city to discuss this matter with Chen Dagou first.

"Wait a minute!" Muxmub chased after him.

"Is there anything else? Your Majesty, if it's about what you've just decided, you'd better go back. Ziyan said.

"No, I wish to travel with you to the Imperial City. ”

"Why?" Ziyan was a little surprised: "Are you really relieved to let Eric be here alone?"

"What are you kidding, Eric's soldiers are strong, and it's dangerous for me to stay here. ”

"......" Ziyan thought about it and seemed to make sense: "Does he have a lot of soldiers under his hands?"

"He's colluding with the other barons, what do you think?" asked Muxmub rhetorically.

"Tsk, this is indeed a problem......" Ziyan found that he had neglected such an important matter, Mux Mubai could not restrain Eric at all, but it was better to say that once he left, Mux Mubai would be a fat sheep in Eric's mouth.

"Well, I'll let Eric go back. Ziyan said.

"No need. "I just thought about it, in fact, even if I let Eric go back for a while, my current soldiers can't fight Eric's cavalry at all, so I decided to leave with you first." ”

"Alright, get your soldiers ready. ”

"I'll go with you alone. ”

"Where's your soldier?"

"Disbanded. ”

"Your brain is made of tofu, and you know that you are not safe, not only do you not recruit soldiers, but you also disband the original soldiers?"

"You can protect me. ”

"I don't have that time to spare. ”

"Yes, don't forget, I'm still a lord. ”

"So what?"

Mux Mubai walked to Ziyan's horse: "I am still the nominal owner of this port city, I know that you want to use Eric to govern this port city, but you can't control him, right? But with me is different, you can always find an opportunity to help me retake the port city, this is legal." ”

"......" Ziyan looked at Mux Mubai again: "It's really surprising, you are not as stupid as you imagined." ”

"I'll just take you as a compliment. ”

"Let's go. Ziyan said.

Ziyan took the transport team back to the imperial city again, but this time, there was one more queen in the team, Mux Mubai.

At night, by the campfire.

"To tell you the truth, I really want to ask you how you can rest assured that you will follow us back to the empire alone. Ziyan said while roasting the fire.

Mux Mubai sat next to Ziyan and smiled: "If it's really unsafe, I will admit it." ”

“...... Have you seen Chen Dagou?"

"No, who is he?"

"It's the guy who sells your gear. ”

Mux Mubai looked at Ziyan: "Huh? Then who are you?"

"I'm his friend, we live together. ”

"That's ......"

"I must warn you that our accommodation is full of men, and it is not very large, so it is certainly not as convenient as your own castle. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"......" Ziyan is really speechless, this guy must not know the facts yet, and it is estimated that his intestines will regret it when the time comes.

On the way back to the imperial city, the queen was infected with a cold, and there were all kinds of problems, Ziyan had no choice, and he saw that it was not far from the imperial city, so he took the queen back to the imperial city first.

"Ahh ”

"Alright, let's drink the medicine. Ziyan handed the bowl with the decoction to the Queen, and then looked at a book called "Inuma Country".

"What is this?" asked Muxmubai.

"A book that chronicles the events of the empire. Ziyan sat against the wall and looked at the book and said.

"If it's good-looking, show it to me too. The Queen snatched the book.

"Can you read Inu-Equestria's text?"

"Since my grandfather's generation, we have belonged to the Dog and Horse Empire, okay! "The queen is as white as a flame.

"It's me who is alone. Ziyan glanced at the decoction on the table: "Why don't you finish it?"

"It's too bitter to drink. ”

Ziyan looked at the queen speechlessly: "Don't play childish, drink quickly." ”

"Slightly. The Queen stuck out her tongue.

Ziyan was really speechless, after a journey of more than ten days, Ziyan found out that this Mux Mubai was completely an adult with a child's psychology, obviously a few years older than himself, but he always played a child's temper.

At this time, Chen Dagou returned to the house, and Mux Mubai reined in and sat upright.

"Who is this?" Chen Dagou was stunned when he saw Muxmubai.

"The buyer of your equipment. Ziyan said.

"Oh, hello, what ...... you are" Chen Dagou didn't know what she was doing here from so far away.

"That's right, because there was a little episode in the middle of the way, so I brought her to stay with us for a long time. ”

"What episode?"

"This is a long story, and I will have the opportunity to tell you in the future, but now, I want to discuss something with you. Ziyan pulled a batch of wooden benches for Chen Dagou to sit down.

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, she's the port city... By the way, what's it called?" Ziyan asked.

"Mux City. ”

"Oh, the first three words of your name. Ziyan paused and continued: "Now that Mux City is actually very backward and a little poor, but the geographical location is very good, I think we will organize the trade between the empire and Mux City. ”

"Really...... Are you sure it's a whole city?"

"Not only that, there are a lot of small villages around that city, but you know, I'm going to the Royal Academy soon, so I want to get this up and running as soon as possible during this time. ”

Chen Dagou shook his head: "No... I can't do it alone. ”

"Of course you're not alone, we're going to find someone else to do this together, it's a great opportunity, no one would have thought that there would be such a place waiting for us, right?"

"But who are you looking for?" Chen Dagou shook his head slightly, Chen Dagou didn't know anything about business.

"Of course we're looking for someone who understands. "Ziyan has already thought about it, Mux City can be a transit station-type place, connecting the empire with the vast south by sea and land, and this advantage will definitely allow it to develop rapidly.

At this time, Chen Ergou came in: "Brother, there are guests looking for you." ”

"Who is it?"

"From the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Okay, let them wait, I'll be right here. Chen Dagou immediately went back to his room to change out of some dirty clothes.

"Brother dog, I'll go too, it just so happens that this matter needs the support of the Chamber of Commerce. Ziyan said.

"I'll go too!" shouted Muxmubai with a raised hand.

Chen Dagou gave her a strange look.

Mux Mubai withdrew his hand in embarrassment and said elegantly, "I mean, I want to see it too." ”

"Let's go, but you guys wait a little while and come, I have something important to talk about. Chen Dagou said

......

In the somewhat simple but spacious lobby, a blonde woman and a brunette woman were sitting and chatting.

"Hello, I'm Chen Dagou. Chen Dagou tried his best to make himself more elegant and stepped forward to greet: "Are the two alchemists from the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, I am, you're the Chen Dagou Forger, right?" the blonde woman asked.

"Yes, what's your name?"

"My name is Noonardo, I have one thing to tell you, I didn't originally come here, something happened to the alchemist designated by the Chamber of Commerce, so I was temporarily replaced, and I don't have a deep study of forging. ”

"Is that so...... It doesn't matter, you're lucky to have the help of an alchemist. Chen Dagou said.

"Okay, then show me the contents. ”

Chen Dagou took out an engineering drawing, which was a design drawing of a heavy crossbow.

"I designed a new heavy crossbow, but I had some problems with the material, and none of the metals available were suitable for ......"

"Which piece?"

"...... here," Chen Dagou began to explain to Noonardo the problems he encountered.

Half an hour later.

"Hmm... Probably I've already figured out the problem. Noonardo closed the notebook: "I'll solve the problem of the material, and I'll let you know when there's news.,Then I'll go first." ”

"Ah, wait a minute. Chen Dagou said.

"Anything else?"

"That's right, I have a friend ......" Chen Dagou looked at the door, he had already asked Chen Ergou to call Ziyan just now, and he should have arrived now.

In the next second, Ziyan pushed the door in, and was stunned when he saw Noona for a long time.

"Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Ziyan. Chen Dagou said, and then said to Ziyan: "Ziyan, this is Noonardo Alchemist......"

"Ahem. Noonardo coughed awkwardly: "That, no need to introduce." ”

Chen Dagou: "Huh?"

"We know. Zero crossed his hands in front of his chest and said lazily.

"Well, that's great......"

"Nothing good, let's go, Zero. Noona stood up and said.

Ziyan walked over: "Wait a minute, let's sit down first." ”

"......" Noonardo and Zero glanced at each other, not knowing what Ziyan wanted to do.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have had some festivals, but they are all small things, and the two of you won't take them to heart, right?" Ziyan smiled.

"......" Noonardo sat down: "No, no." ”

"You're from the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Didn't I tell you? I thought I did. Noona said.

"Probably not, since it's you, I'll say it directly, I want to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce once. ”

"Cooperation?"

"Yes. Ziyan turned around: "Brother Dog, let Mux Mubai come in." ”

After a while

"What's the matter?" Muxmubai asked, standing next to Ziyan.

"She is the lord of Mux, a queen, but her port city has been cut off from trade with the Empire by several barons in a disgraceful way, and now I want the Empire to resume trade with Mux. ”

"Where is Mux?" asked Noonardo.

Ziyan found the map and came out.

"Oh, this place is so close to the Empire, if it really has trade value, there can't be no trade, right?" Noonardo questioned.

Muxmubai: "It's true. ”

Ziyan: "You think I need to lie to you? I'm not so bored. ”

"Okay, so you want the Chamber of Commerce to establish trade with this city as soon as possible, right?"

Ziyan: "Yes. ”

"It's useless, the Chamber of Commerce will just crowd out the locals and continue to hire cheap slaves, unless you have the advantage of resources. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

"I'll talk to someone from the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Thank you so much. Ziyan smiled.

“...... Let's go first. ”

......

"Ziyan, do you know the two of them, and there was a festival?" asked Chen Dagou after the people left.

"Minor problem. Ziyan smiled: "By the way, the Royal Academy will be assessed in a few days, Brother Dog, the matter of cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce still has to be handed over to you and Mux Mubai." ”

Chen Dagou glanced at Mux Mubai: "I can't get this kind of thing, let's leave it to Mu Bai, I will try my best to help if there is anything to help." ”

"Hmm. Ziyan smiled and prepared to leave.

"Brother Ziyan, there is your letter!" Chen Ergou ran over with a letter.

"It's here so soon?" Ziyan took the envelope with some surprise.

"Who's in the family?" asked Chen Dagou.

"It's not. Ziyan opened the envelope and looked at the contents silently.
