A few days later, Xiao Rui received a letter from Yan Linglong.

opened the letter, and it was Yan Linglong's delicate and somewhat sharp handwriting:

"Qilang, you and I have been separated for nearly three years, although Hongyan has passed hundreds of letters, but it is difficult to see the true face, I can't confide in my face, and my heart is very lonely. Now that Qilang has a group of wives and concubines, both children and daughters, and he is happy, can you still remember my lovesickness? ”

"My father is withered, his health is getting worse, and he always wants to choose a good son-in-law for me to marry, but I always veto it with excuses, and every time I do this, I can't face my father's sad and disappointed eyes."

"My heart is resolute, and I am willing to fight for the prosperity of Dayan all my life, and now I can relieve my father's sorrows, and the only way to do it is not to urge my marriage, but to ensure the peace of the country. However, disasters are frequent, and Dayan has no good luck in the summer country, and new crops can be stabilized. Dayan is deeply immersed in disasters and sinks, how can we talk about the peace of the people? Sorrowful cry. ”

"If Shichiro pities me, if he pities me, please help."

"If you have affection, I will tell you a secret, otherwise you will not regret it in this life."

......

Xiao Rui put down the letter and couldn't help laughing.

Yan Linglong wrote such a long paragraph, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: If you don't give me sweet potatoes, I will marry, see if it is sweet potato fragrance or green grassland fragrance on my head.

"Before I knew it, it had been three years."

Xiao Rui also sighed a little, no matter how you say it, it is also a disaster for others, according to Xiao Rui's temper, the woman who has slept will naturally be brought back to Daxia, but unfortunately the other party is the princess of Zhenguo of Yan Kingdom, and her ambition is as arrogant as her temperament, it is impossible for her to come to Daxia.

Also, tell yourself a secret, what does it mean? Otherwise, he will regret it, which aroused Xiao Rui's curiosity.

Could it be that she is also a traverser?

As for whether to give Yan Guo sweet potatoes or not, in fact, Xiao Rui and His Majesty have already discussed.

It is absolutely forbidden to sell in the Qin State, and the Qin Emperor wants to plant new crops, so he can only steal some seeds and then slowly plant and promote. It took more than two years for the Great Xia hemorrhage to be promoted throughout the country, and if the Qin State wanted to reach this level, it would take five years to put a question mark.

Not to mention the country of Qi, the country that is about to be destroyed, not to mention the matter of new crops! I guess I'm not in the mood at all right now.

As for the distant Yuan Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom, there is no intersection with Great Xia now, and it is even more impossible to get new crops, so only the Yan Kingdom remains.

Can you give Yan Guo new crops?

First of all, it is necessary to determine the role and value of Yan for Bactria .

Yan is rich in ore, and the covenant that has now been reached stipulates that Yan must sell ore to Daxia every year, and the price is lower than that of the market, and the total amount must not be less than a certain amount every year. Secondly, Yan Guo was also able to buy Daxia goods at a higher price than the market price.

Therefore, Yan is a very important strategic ally for Great Xia, especially ore, which is a necessity for Great Xia, which is in short supply.

In addition, the geographical location of Yan ensured the stability of the southern part of Xia State, and the Yan State carried Wei to the death, preventing Wei's ambition to go north. Great Xia can safely start a war against Qin and Yuan, but if Wei also joins, it will be a little stretched. Therefore, the existence of the Yan State avoids the other three kingdoms from joining forces vertically and horizontally.

In addition, if Yan Guo wants to survive, he must rely on the protection of Xia Guo, once Xia Guo also fights it, then Yan Guo is more pitiful than the angry little daughter-in-law, and will be ruthlessly ravaged.

So in a strategic sense, we should help Yan Guo, he is stronger, so as to better meet the needs of Xia Guo.

However, sweet potatoes were not given for nothing, and a series of treaties had to be signed, especially prohibiting Yan from selling to Qin, breaking the alliance between the two sides once it was discovered, and letting him know the consequences.

Secondly, Yan Guo was also able to buy ore at a large price! It is equivalent to a patent fee, and this time it has to make Yan Guo bleed.

Subsequently, Xiao Rui went to tell His Majesty, because he had discussed this matter before, Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "You are in charge." ”

Xiao Rui responded: "Erchen understands. ”

At this time, Xiao Rui saw that His Majesty looked a little tired, and asked, "Father didn't rest, okay?"

During this time, Xiao Rui has been in charge of the country's power, Emperor Xia is happy to be idle, not to be tortured by the thick music, go to bed early and get up early, his mental state is much better than in the past, and he is teasing the emperor's grandson and the emperor's granddaughter in his spare time, enjoying the fun of taking care of his days and grandchildren around his knees, how can he look tired today?

Emperor Xia sighed: "Something happened to the Wa Kingdom, the Ashikaga Shogunate was overthrown by the Tokugawa family and was wiped out, the life and death of Ashikaga Nobita is unknown, the Wa Kingdom has completely changed the world, and Concubine Lan, who was shocked by the bad news, was heartbroken, so I didn't have a good rest." ”

Xiao Rui pretended to be surprised and asked, "The Ashikaga shogunate has been overthrown?" This... How could it be! In the past two years, the father and emperor have looked at the face of Concubine Lan, vigorously supported Ashikaga Nobita, and provided him with a lot of funds, so can't he deal with the Tokugawa family? ”

Emperor Xia sighed: "The rise of the Tokugawa family and the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate are the general trend, and gold and silver can only delay the fall of the Ashikaga shogunate, but cannot save him." Now Concubine Lan has been begging me to send troops to attack the Wa Kingdom, eliminate the Tokugawa family and avenge his family, what do you think about this matter? ”

"Father, the son thinks it's better to look at the attitude of the Tokugawa family first, if the newly established Tokugawa Shogunate Yoro is arrogant and will endanger the safety of the Bactrian coast, then there is nothing to hesitate. Our latest sea ship in Daxia has been successfully trial-produced, just take a look at the power! Xiao Rui proposed.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That makes sense. ”

"Please rest for your father, and your sons won't bother." Xiao Rui said.

Immediately, Xiao Rui withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui wrote a reply letter to Yan Linglong, without a long speech, only one line:

"Looks like you're itching your ass and want to get beaten. If you want sweet potatoes, then send an envoy to talk. Also, What's the secret that makes me regret it? ”

He handed the letter to Li Yuanfang and asked him to send it out through the Spear Falcon.

Then Xiao Rui left the palace and went to Zhan Shifu for a walk, because Guo Jia rushed back last night.

When he came to Zhan Shifu, Xiao Rui saw Guo Jia, who he hadn't seen for more than a year, and he seemed to be blown by the sea breeze, and the whole person looked thinner.

"Subordinate Guo Jia to meet His Highness." Seeing Xiao Rui, Guo Jia was also very excited, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xiao Rui helped him to get up and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao has taken a long time to go out this time!" ”

Guo Jia said apologetically: "The matter of the Wa Kingdom could have been solved in two or three months, and then the subordinates went to the small country of Heavenly Poison for a turn, and met a caravan going to the Yuan country to do business there, and the subordinates planned to go to the Yuan country to see, just take a walk, to see the actual situation of the Yuan country, and to see if it can be arranged in advance, so as to provide benefits for His Highness to eliminate the Yuan country in the future." Because he was away from home, it was a temporary decision, so when the news came back to His Highness, his subordinates had already set off. ”

In the past year and a half, Guo Jia first went to the Wa Kingdom, stayed there for three months, then went to Tianfu for a month, and then went north with the caravan to the Yuan Kingdom, where he stayed for more than half a year, and then returned to the Wa Kingdom, and did not return to Daxia until today.

Although Guo Jia will send someone to send the letter back, because of the long distance, Xiao Rui only learned a rough idea of the specific receipt of Guo Jia's trip this trip, and he has to listen to him in detail about the details.

"Seeing Feng Xiao and Mr. Wenhe smiling, the harvest must be not small, hurry up and listen!" Xiao Rui said eagerly.

Guo Jia told the story.

At first, he learned from Koizumi Saburo, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, that Ashikaga Yumi had come to the summer and was full of conspiracy, so Guo Jia went to the Wa Kingdom first.

After arriving in the U Kingdom, Guo Jia first mastered the U Chinese language in a month, and then won the trust of Ashikaga Nobita with his talent, and finally found out that Ashikaga Nobita let Ashikaga Yumi come to Daxia, and firmly believed that the Xia Emperor would take a fancy to Ashikaga Yumi, all because someone reminded Ashikaga Nobita!

And this person is Huang Qilin!

When Huang Qilin was young, he traveled all over the world, and also crossed the sea to the Wa country, met Ashikaga Nobita, and became close friends, and exchanged letters for more than two years.

Guo Jia continued to investigate and found that Huang Qilin only mentioned Nobita Ashikaga, which seemed to be a kind reminder from a friend, and there was no other conspiracy.

But later in-depth investigation, Guo Jia found out that Huang Qilin actually colluded with the patriarch of the Tokugawa family, and during the time when Huang Qilin was in the Wa Kingdom, he killed the beloved daughter of the Tokugawa patriarch with tricks and blamed Ashikaga Nobita, which further worsened the hatred between the two clans, so there was an endless situation.

Only then did Guo Jia understand Huang Qilin's sinister intentions, and he was laying out an overall situation.

First of all, he knew that when Ashikaga Yumi saw Empress Xia, it would inevitably arouse Emperor Xia's thoughts, and then he would conduct a detailed investigation of Ashikaga Yumi. So Huang Qilin didn't dare to be implicated, he just played the role of a reminder, and he had never been in contact with Ashikaga Yumi and the Wakoku Mission, so after Emperor Xia's investigation, he found that Ashikaga Yumi was really fine.

With the entry of Ashikaga Yumi into the palace, the relationship between the Tokugawa family and the Ashikaga shogunate deteriorated, and he saw that the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate would inevitably die at the hands of the Tokugawa family, so he wanted to speed up this matter.

Now, the Ashikaga shogunate has been destroyed, and the life and death of Ashikaga Nobita are unknown, which is the second plan of the Yellow Kirin.

As for the third plan, it is believed that Huang Kirin is already in Kyoto at this time, and is planning to contact Ashikaga Yumi and complete his own grand conspiracy through her.

Guo Jia found out Huang Qilin's trickery, and had to admire Huang Qilin's cunning. It's a pity that he didn't find the whereabouts of Huang Qilin, this person has already left the Wa Kingdom and does not know where to go, waiting for the situation in the Wa Kingdom to change, he will appear, and even he even roughly calculated the time when the Ashikaga Shogunate was destroyed.

Huang Qilin can calculate it, and Guo Jia can naturally calculate it.

Therefore, Guo Jia did not stay in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but went to the Heavenly Poison and Yuan Kingdom, until when the Ashikaga Shogunate was about to be destroyed, Guo Jia returned to the Wa Kingdom.

And not long after returning to the Wa Kingdom, Guo Jia found a fellow practitioner. It's not Huang Qilin, it's a master sent by Huang Qilin. Later, these masters took advantage of the destruction of the Ashikaga shogunate, captured Ashikaga Nobita and his children, and then returned to Bactria .

This is Huang Qilin's backhand, mastering Ashikaga Nobita, and having the opportunity to talk to Ashikaga Yumi.

Guo Jia saw all of this, but he did not startle the snakes, but silently watched these people leave, and then returned to Kyoto himself.

After listening to Guo Jia's experience in the Wa Kingdom, Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "So, Huang Qilin has returned to Kyoto, this is the best chance to catch him, and it will be even more difficult to catch him if he runs away." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Huang Qilin is cunning and cunning, this is indeed a good opportunity." ”

Jia Xu said: "I have already asked Wei Zhongxian, and the spies of Duanwangfu have not found anything unusual. It seems that Huang Qilin didn't dare to go to Duanwang's Mansion, and the two must have met somewhere else. Your Highness, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it at twelve o'clock?"

Xiao Rui thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to stare at it, but Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin are both cunning people, and I'm worried that they will be exposed, so it's best to send a master to watch." In addition, Ashikaga Yumi also has to keep an eye on it, and I will let Yan Xiaoxiao do it. ”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded in unison.

Then Xiao Rui asked: "Fengxiao, you have been in the Yuan Kingdom for more than half a year, and you have gained a lot in the letter, why don't you tell me in detail?" ”

"Your Highness, my subordinates are about to report on this." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Guo Jia's trip to the Yuan Kingdom is not only a lot of gains, but a gratifying harvest!
