There were three people in the house.

One old, one young, one young.

Only the young man sat in the guest seat, a book in his hand, and was reading with all his heart.

The old man stood quietly behind him, while the young man stood beside him with a teapot in his hand.

At the same time as Lin Huayao entered, the movement at the door also entered the house at the same time.

The old man behind the young man was the first to react, and a dodge blocked in front of the young man, and the young man hurriedly raised his head to look at the situation outside.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound outside the door, and then a person flew in upside down and fell at the feet of the old man in the house.

The old man in front of the young man frowned slightly, his eyes raised, and he looked directly at Lin Huayao.

But at the same time as he looked at Lin Huayao, the Great Grandmaster of Shangqing Mountain, who followed Lin Huayao, also appeared in front of Lin Huayao at the same time, just blocking the old man's fierce gaze.

The great grandmaster of Shangqing Mountain glanced at the old man opposite, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly arched his hand and spoke: "It turned out that the four elders of the Immortal Sect were here, and I haven't seen them for many years, so I don't know if it's always good?" ”

When the old man on the opposite side saw this person on the other side, his eyes were a little slower, and he also bowed his hand and saluted: "It turned out to be Li Daoyou from Shangqing Mountain, it is not surprising that he has such a might, but the senior of Your Excellency Venerable Realm has made a move on a junior of my sect, has he lost his identity?" ”

"That's sorry, my Daxia has always paid attention to convincing people with virtue, if you are a junior, you should know the number of courtesies, if you don't know the number of courtesies, and you don't know the number of courtesies, the old man will give a little punishment, but it is reasonable, what does Elder Han think?" The Grand Grandmaster of Shangqing Mountain replied lightly.

"Oh, I don't know how my people don't know how to be polite and humble?" Han Siping asked with a cold snort in his heart.

"If you don't bow your head or avoid seeing the deity, you can't beat the deity?" Li Yunbo was also a little unhappy, just a junior, if he was beaten, he would have been beaten, if he had been placed in the past, the other party would have to apologize, but today he has repeatedly questioned, this is clearly bullying them Shangqing Mountain and defeated.

The people in Shangqing Mountain are sensitive, and the smell of gunpowder has obviously begun to emerge between the words.

Han Siping was also aggrieved, this time is different from the past, you have reached this step in the field of Shangqing Mountain, and you still want to put on the prestige of the past?

"So, if the deity doesn't like any of your disciples, you can also fight as much as you want?" Han Siping refused to show weakness.

"I didn't find that Daoyou had such a temper before, but I have been in the Qing Mountain for thousands of years, and it is really not uncommon to have a temper, if Daoyou has Yaxing, you can give it a try!" The waves in Li Yunbo's eyes gradually rose.

"That's it!"

Two voices, Lin Huayao and the young man reading the book spoke at the same time, interrupting the conflict that was about to break out.

The young man who was reading the book slowly put down the book in his hand, and then raised his eyes to look at the people in the room.

After a glance, his eyes locked on Lin Huayao, stood up, and saluted with a gentle smile: "Your Excellency is Lin Shuai, we are new to your land, and we are still a little uncomfortable, and if we are rude, we still hope that the handsome Haihan." ”

Lin Huayao's eyes also fell on the young man, his eyes flashed slightly, he had never seen this young man, and at this moment, the other party was dressed as a scholar in a white shirt, and he had no status symbol.

However, Lin Huayao is not stupid, Qiman came to see him, and it is impossible to send a nobody.

And this person is graceful, seeing him in person, he is still so humble and arrogant, and his identity should be unusual.

At the moment, he didn't show his majesty anymore, and waved his hand lightly and replied: "Little thing! ”

As he spoke, he walked to the throne, turned around, stretched out his hand and motioned to the young man, "Please take a seat!" ”

The young man bowed slightly and thanked him, and then said lightly to the young man beside him: "Your Excellency Grandmaster Fu go down and rest!" ”

When the young man heard this, he bowed down and agreed, and then glanced at Lin Huayao and Li Yunbo from Shangqin Mountain, and saw that they were all unresponsive, so he went over to help the grandmaster who was thrown in.

In fact, the grandmaster was not seriously injured, but he was thrown in like this, and his face couldn't get over, so he kept his head down, pretending to be seriously injured and physically exhausted.

When the young man helped the grandmaster down, there were only four people left in the room.

Lin Huayao and Li Yunbo, Youth and Han Siping.

The smell of gunpowder dissipated, and the young man did not sit, but smiled and took out a wooden box from his arms first, but instead of thousands, he raised his hand and smiled at Lin Huayao: "When I first came to Guibaodi, I was careful and not respectful, and I hope that the handsome man will not be disgusted." ”

"You're welcome." Lin Huayao glanced at the wooden box, but he didn't care too much, and nodded at Li Yunbo.

Li Yunbo stepped forward to take the wooden box, opened it on the spot and looked at it, thinking it was a treasure, but he didn't expect that it was just a booklet inside.

Li Yunbo was surprised, looked up at the young man, and saw that the young man's smile remained unchanged, so he took out the booklet and opened it to take a look.

After just one glance, Li Yunbo's expression changed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the young man again, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes, and then he quickly turned around and came to Lin Huayao's side and presented the booklet.

Seeing Li Yunbo's behavior, Lin Huayao knew that this gift might not be ordinary, so he originally wanted to accept it directly, but he was also curious at the moment.

After taking the booklet and looking at it, Lin Huayao's eyes suddenly froze.

Seeing that the booklet was actually recorded with all kinds of weapons and equipment, Lin Huayao hurriedly took a closer look, and it turned out that what Qiman sent was actually a piece of equipment for 10,000 people.

Gun!

Brute muskets, a whole 10,000!

It's no wonder that Lin Huayao has never seen the world, but this gift is too precious.

Great Xia also made guns, but compared with the guns of the banner, it was too poor in terms of range and accuracy.

In this way, Great Xia's firearms are still overstretched, and they can only equip the Shenji Battalion, and most of the soldiers still fight on the battlefield with swords.

It is precisely because of this that in battles with Qiman, Great Xia often collapsed at the touch of a button, and played a record of ten to one, or even twenty or thirty to one.

If it weren't for the sharp bows and arrows of Great Xia, which could be fought against muskets, I am afraid that this battle would not have been fought at all.

The problem is that it is not easy for an archer to be trained.

The musket, on the other hand, requires only a little training and can be used by almost everyone.

The archers are limited, but the banner man almost has a musket in his hand, which is the disadvantage of Great Xia.

10,000 muskets, for the southern army, can be said to be able to pull up an armed force that can fight with 10,000 people in an instant, how can Lin Huayao not be moved.

Closing the booklet, Lin Huayao did not move the eight winds on his face, calmly put the box on the table next to him, and only replied lightly: "Your envoy has a heart." ”

The young man's smile was still gentle: "It's just a small courtesy, just don't dislike the handsome." ”

"You may be seated!" Lin Huayao spoke for the second time.

The young man thanked him and turned to sit down.

"I don't know what your position is in the official residence of the Flag Country?" Lin Huayao asked.

"Let the big marshal smile, he didn't serve in the dynasty." The young man shook his head.

Lin Huayao was not in a hurry and waited for the following.

Sure enough, Han Siping, who was beside the young man, spoke: "This is the seventh prince of my Great Banner Imperial Kingdom, His Royal Highness King Ming!" ”

"King Ming?"

As soon as Han Siping's voice fell, Lin Huayao and Li Yunbo were both stunned, and then glanced at each other, both of them a little speechless.

The young man seemed to know what they were thinking, and said with a wry smile: "This king heard that there is also a Ming king in the Xia Dynasty, but I, the king of Ming, are just the same as the Ming king of the Xia Dynasty, but in fact they are not the same words. There is a Ming province in my banner country, which is where my fief is located, so I was named the king of Ming. ”

Lin Huayao still knows something about the royal family of the Banner Country, but he has never heard of the Seventh Prince King Ming in the Flag Country before, and he can't help but say: "I don't want to come here this time, but it is His Royal Highness the King of Ming, but the handsome man is lonely and unheard, and he neglects the distinguished guests." ”

"No wonder the handsome, speaking of which, this king and the Ming king of the Xia Dynasty are quite fateful, and the growth experience is also very similar, because I have urinated in the mountains since I was a child, so I rarely appear in the court, and over time, it is the people in my court, and even many officials do not know that there is such a person in the court." The young man said, arching his hand to Lin Huayao: "I hope the marshal will not be surprised, this time I came to see the marshal, but I took the initiative to invite Ying, my father originally planned to send important ministers to see the marshal, not to snub the marshal." ”

Lin Huayao wouldn't mind, no matter how this prince was in the court, no matter how he said it, he would also say that it was a prince, and if he could get Emperor Qi to agree with him to deal with such a big matter, he must also attach importance to this prince in the eyes of Emperor Qi.

"You're welcome, His Royal Highness King Ming personally came to Nanyue, I only have Peng Sheng in Nanyue, how dare you be surprised?" Lin Huayao responded with a smile.

"Handsome and elegant, this king admires!" King Ming gave up.

"I don't know if King Ming came to see Ben Shuai this time, but what do you have to say?" Lin Huayao restrained his smile, and after the gossip, it was time to get down to business.

"Don't dare, I came to see Daxia this time, on the orders of my father, and sincerely came to discuss the future of the Xia Dynasty with Dashuai." King Ming also restrained his smile.

"The future of the Xia Dynasty?" Lin Huayao remained silent, but he sneered in his heart, how about my Great Xia, it is your turn to decide?

"Yes, Dashuai, this king knows that it will be misleading to say this rashly, but in fact, my flag country sent troops to conquer the Xia Dynasty this time, which is really a good intention."

Lin Huayao was silent, but Li Yunbo sneered at the corner of his mouth.

King Ming didn't mind, and continued: "The marshal knows, the world has long changed, our flag country and the Xia Dynasty belong to the same eastern country, before the East and the West have not yet opened sailing, our two countries are self-sufficient, but also leisurely, but now the Western countries are powerful and powerful, and they covet our Oriental treasure land, if we don't unite and advance together, sooner or later it will become a meal on the lips of the Western countries." ”

"Many years ago, our flag country discussed with Emperor Xia to strengthen mutual trade and speed up common progress to deal with the threat of the West, but Emperor Xia was mediocre and did not know what to do, not only did not agree to strengthen mutual trade, but suppressed restrictions. Only by overthrowing the mediocre monarch of the Xia Dynasty and replacing it with a Ming monarch can our two countries work together to deal with the Western threat in the future. ”

If it was said before, Lin Huayao could still be quiet, but the so-called strengthening of mutual trade in the back made the corners of Lin Huayao's mouth twitch slightly.

You must know that it was Lin Huayao, who was still in charge of the household department at that time, who strongly advocated denying and increasing mutual trade with Qiman.

At that time, the so-called mutual trade agreement of Qiman, and the conditions put forward by Qiman, were really too arrogant.
