331. Chapter 328: Transaction Formation
The brothers who fought side by side in the past have become today's situation of "I know you, but you don't know me", which is embarrassing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Visitors from afar, I already know your intentions...... The large-scale sale of the Book of Contracts is an inevitable trend in response to the world pattern, and Yamato Castle will not refuse any party's demand for the purchase of the Book of Contracts...... It is just that, in exchange for the necessary value, we invite visitors to express enough sincerity. Dongfang Fan turned his back to Liu Yan and showed no signs of turning around.
Liu Yan and Qin Yafeng had already observed that a special team of hundreds of girls on the city wall was controlling the huge amount of sea water with both hands, orderly transforming the sea water of a part of the sea into a huge whirlpool, and the azure light connecting the sea area and the contractor was the water element under the law of water.
"This ...... Is it the power of the Book of Covenants? At first glance, it looks like some kind of ability that can control water...... However, even if you search for it within the confines of the Dynasty, you may not be able to find so many people with the same ability...... If the dynasty is the ability to activate a single living being...... The Book of Covenants of Yamato Castle is all about customizing abilities...... No wonder it has the effect of countering the strange ghosts......" Qin Yafeng was surprised in his heart, and began to understand the reason why Ma Chengyun opposed the capture of Dongying.
"I don't know what price the Three City Lords need to exchange for the Book of Contract?" Liu Yan smiled very calmly, he knew very well that he couldn't show a very strong desire to trade in such a situation, otherwise he would only let the other party slaughter.
"Three conditions: first, I would like to invite someone of the Tianyue Dynasty to live in Yamato Castle, so as to ensure that your dynasty will not act unfavorably against our Yamato Castle after obtaining the letter of contract; Second, due to trade secrets, Yamato Castle could not directly sell the letter of contract, and we could only conclude the contract with the right person sent by your dynasty; Thirdly, one such mecha was exchanged for every tenth copy of the Treaty. After Dongfang Fan finished speaking, the Yamato brothers on the side nodded again and again, and the two of them obviously had an idea about the floating light body for a long time.
"That...... I don't know who the Three Cities Lord wants to invite? Liu Yan thinks that only the first condition is a bit difficult, after all, it is impossible for the dynasty to let Yue Chongsheng, who is the emperor, as a "hostage".
"This matter is not on my radar, however, I will only give your dynasty one chance, if the invitees you sent cannot meet my conditions, then Yamato Castle can only regretfully refuse to cooperate with your dynasty, after all, our book of contract has never been short of buyers." Dongfang Fan waved his hand, looking scheming.
Liu Yan and Qin Yafeng couldn't make a decision directly, and after the two discussed, they wanted to send the news back to the Dynasty through the contact system on the floating light machine, but because the black clouds outside Yamato City hindered the contact, they could only directly send three floating light machines back to the Dynasty......
……
The next day, on the throne of the Tianyue Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers discussed the news from Dongying.
"Humph! Dongying overestimates his own value! Actually asked for hostages from the imperial dynasty, this is clearly to threaten the imperial dynasty, if it is really carried out according to Dongying's words, there may be any difficult requirements in the future, and it must not be agreed! "Ling Hu Feng strongly opposed, as one of the first few families to defect to the Tianyue Dynasty, the Ling Hu family's current prestige in the Dynasty is definitely at the level of a first-line minister.
"Yes, once the dynasty shows weakness once, the people of Dongying will inevitably think that our dynasty is afraid of them, not only will it ruin the prestige of the dynasty, but it is more likely that Dongying will take advantage of the time when we are fighting against the ghosts to march into the Central Plains. The ministers saw that the head of the Linghu family had already expressed their position, and immediately four or fifty percent of the ministers opened their mouths to agree.
Yue Chongsheng frowned, he did have some rejection of Dongying's conditions in his heart, after all, in his opinion, Dongying in the land of strange ghosts was only surviving at this time, and there was nothing enough to praise it except for the value of the "Book of Contracts".
"Stupid! A bunch of stupid philistines! You know that Dongying is called the land of strange ghosts, you know that Dongying is lingering, and you know that Dongying may be devoured by strange ghosts at any time, how can such a country have the energy to march into the Central Plains? In my opinion, the reason why Dongying asked the Imperial Dynasty to send hostages was because he was worried that our Dynasty would take the opportunity to march into Dongying! Now that the imperial dynasty's military strength is increasing day by day, it is not at all something that a small Dongying can contend with, as long as they see the gap, there is no so-called crisis! In contrast, the selection of hostages should be discussed immediately, and there is only one chance, which shows that Dongying does not have much energy to take care of the transaction, and eighty or ninety percent of their energy is on the matter of resisting the strangers. Ma Chengyun angrily instructed Hu Feng, shouting with a thick neck and a red face.
"Is there a candidate in the heart of the Protector?" Yue Chongsheng thought about it, and it was indeed as Ma Chengyun said, so he immediately got up and asked.
"Yes! The minister suggested that the queen should go to Dongying! Ma Chengyun didn't think about it, and directly pointed out the key person - Dongfang Xue'er.
Yue Chongsheng's face suddenly fell: when Dongfang Xue'er was set up as the queen at the beginning, he was criticized by the ministers of all parties, after all, in everyone's memory, he and Dongfang Xue'er are brother and sister, according to the ethics of the Chinese nation, Dongfang Xue'er should be a princess and a county lord, not a queen.
However, Yue Chongsheng insisted on dictatorship, long before he betrayed Dongfang Fan, he had secretly fallen in love with Dongfang Xue'er, and now he finally took Dongfang Fan's position, even if the whole world was against it, he also insisted on making the goddess in his heart the most irreplaceable existence around him - if the possession of Dongfang Yuqin and other concubines was out of a man's physical desire, then the feelings for Dongfang Xue'er could be said to come from the last innocent love in Yue Chongsheng's heart.
"No! I must not let the Queen get into danger! Yue Chongsheng was furious, and rarely became angry with Ma Chengyun.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the words of the protector of the country have their truth, and if it is said that the person in the dynasty who can best meet the requirements put forward by Dongying is the queen...... The position of the queen is a model of the mother's honor in the world, and this is the period when the dynasty needs to rely on the queen, and the emperor is asked to think twice. The person who opened his mouth was a middle-aged and elderly man with a good physique, this person was the former president of Northeastern University, named Niu Ren, and his original identity was still the governor, so he now has considerable support in the DPRK and China.
Niu Ren is a very traditional person, and he often attaches great importance to the code of ethics, at the beginning, in order to let Yue Chongsheng give up Dongfang Xue'er as the queen, he went on a hunger strike for a week, and then Yue Chongsheng personally went to visit before eating, although he did not mention the queen's affairs again, but he has been haunted by it.
Now, there is a good opportunity in front of him to send the queen away from the dynasty, and Niu Ren will naturally not let it go!
"This ......" Yue Chongsheng looked at the increasing number of ministers of His Royal Highness suggesting that the queen be taken hostage, and began to feel a trace of powerlessness in his heart: it turns out that even if he becomes an emperor above 10,000 people, there are times when he is helpless, just like now, if he continues to insist on dictatorship, it will make the entire dynasty fall into a situation of divided opinions, although it will not have any impact in the short term, but in the long run, there will be a grudge between the monarchs and ministers, how can there be thousands of generations?
"Dongfang Guozhang, what do you think?" Yue Chongsheng gritted his teeth and asked Dongfang Yun among His Highness's ministers - Dongfang Yun is the contemporary head of the Dongfang family and the father of Dongfang Yuqin, Dongfang Yuqin was assassinated a few days ago, so he has been immersed in grief as a father.
"Huh? Oh...... The minister thinks that the suggestion of the protector has its meaning, and besides, the queen has always been guarded by that mysterious light, and there will be no danger if she wants to come to Dongying and her party...... But it can't be completely unlimited to let the queen stay in a different country, and it is the right thing to do to limit a certain number of years...... "Dongfang Yun is not too old or young, he is thirty and forty years old, because he has been well maintained, so it is the peak period of his life, but the loss of his daughter made him lose fifty percent of his hair overnight, and the spiritual outlook of the whole person is obviously not as plump as before.
Yue Chongsheng looked at Dongfang Yun's expression, without the slightest guilt in his heart; However, although Dongfang Yun's suggestion was to seek convergence between the opinions of the two parties, it was just right, and in desperation, Yue Chongsheng could only nod his head......
Three days later, Qin Siqi, the female general of the Kai Dynasty, led two hundred floating light machines to escort Empress Tianyue to Dongying Yamato City.
In the port of Hakodate outside Yamato Castle, the two female generals Qin Siqi and Qin Yafeng were silent, and a square cabin was lowered on the floating light machine behind Qin Siqi, and when the hatch opened, a person walked out of it.
A year has made this woman with a twist and turn in fate even more weak, but the perseverance in her eyes has not been reduced, and the luxurious clothes on her body have not decorated it noblely, but have further highlighted the unstained noble temperament on her body - like a piece of snow, and the most real thing is always the whiteness and immaculate that astonishes the earth.
"She is worthy of being the queen of your dynasty, this kind of demeanor is convincing......" Yamato Ryuichi looked at Dongfang Xue'er, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Hehe, the city lord of Longyi praised it, Xue'er came today to promote a long-term peace between the dynasty and your city, and in the future, I will ask the city lord to take care of me." Dongfang Xue'er said with a smile, she didn't have much fear of foreign countries in her heart, but felt a little relaxed because she could get out of the chaotic harem.
"City Lord, I came to the Empress in response to the trade contract, and at the same time, I will live in Yamato Castle as an entourage, and the two hundred floating light bodies in the transaction contract have been delivered, and I also ask your city to send two thousand copies of the contract to the Imperial Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to conclude a deal between the two sides." Qin Siqi's face was solemn, she was different from Dongfang Xue'er, she maintained the most basic vigilance against all possible enemies.
"That's natural, as long as the third city lord chooses a suitable person, he will follow the personnel of your imperial dynasty, please enter the city to rest, we have prepared a place to live in the city." Yamato Ryuichi personally led the way and sent the two girls to the Hakodate Restaurant to stay, and at the same time, in room 1009, Dongfang Fan called Dongfang Biluo and Yamato Ayako to his front and explained the relevant matters......
"This time the matter of entrusting the Book of Contracts to the two of you will be left to the two of you...... It is impossible for the Tianyue Dynasty to send a large number of contractors to Dongying and then bring them back...... And I just need some information about the Tianyue Dynasty, and at that time, I will have to rely on Ayako's ability to investigate, and Biluo just needs to ensure that he will not reveal his identity. Dongfang Fan had received a letter from the Tianyue Dynasty two days ago, and the words in it were basically not out of his expectations.
"But sir, when I'm away, what if there are dragonmen and ghosts attacking again?" Dongfang Biluo was slightly worried.
"It's okay, I'll put together all the contractors in the Contracting Corps who have the Ice Treaty, plus Muina's Wood Rule, there shouldn't be a problem, if necessary, I also have measures to deal with it, you just need to negotiate with the Tianyue Dynasty wholeheartedly...... Also, keep an eye out for finches if you can find them...... Contact me through the spiritual contract, and then respond according to the situation. Dongfang Fan was most worried about Tong Qi'er, after all, it was just a child, and he couldn't be sure what Xingxin would do with her.
"Speaking of which, the Tianyue Dynasty really has the guts to send the Empress of the Dynasty over as a hostage...... I'd love to see what the abandoned queen looked like. Yamato Ayako responded, the information of Yamato City is very inaccessible, and there is no way to get the news on the Shenzhou Continent, so she doesn't know who the queen is.
"If you're really curious, you can open the door and go out and have a look...... She was on her way to room 1011...... Speaking of which, you shouldn't feel strange to her......" Dongfang Fan smiled, remembering the only family affection in his heart......
