The carriage galloped, and after traveling along the bustling street for half an hour, Zhao Xian arrived at the Siyi Pavilion.

At this time, the officials of Honglu Temple also came to the Siyi Pavilion, which was sent by the imperial court to help Zhao Xian, and it can also be said that they came to monitor Zhao Xian.

After all, Dongying's support is very important to Da Liang, if Zhao Xian really collapses, send someone who understands the rules, and it can be redeemed at the critical moment.

Zhao Xian jumped out of the carriage, turned around attentively, and went to pick up Su Wanyun, who was following closely, who knew that Sister Su's expression was cold, and she said seriously: "Zhao Xian, my current identity is your scholar, and there is a reason for the master's family to help people." ”

Is there a mistake, I don't appreciate it if I kindly hugged you, Zhao Xian was in love with his cold buttocks, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so he shook his sleeves and hummed: "This is what you said, Xiao Susu, move things down and help Young Master Ben in." ”

Little Susu? Su Wanyun frowned at this title, but she was just playing on the spot, she didn't think too much about it, and jumped out of the carriage lightly with the wooden box.

Walking beside Zhao Xian, she said softly: "Zhao Xian..."

"It's called Young Master! Those who have subordinates who call the master's name do not know how to lift up. Zhao Xian squinted to the side and said with an arrogant expression.

This is called treating others the way they would be.

Su Wanyun's pretty face was cold again, but she was still Zhao Xian's opponent, so she calmly resisted the urge to pump him, and bowed slightly and said, "Young Master..."

"You are a scholar, not a maid, and you have your own identity." Zhao Xian saw that she was practicing women's etiquette, so he couldn't help but interject again, and then said to the big bodyguard of the four virtues beside him: "Four virtues." Teach her how to please the young master. ”

"Okay!!"

Side immediately agreed, he didn't know Su Wanyun's true identity, he only knew that she was Mrs. An's friend, seeing her being teased by Zhao Xian, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, pinched an orchid finger with his fat big hand, walked to Zhao Xian with big eyes flashing, and pretended to say with a trembling voice: "Young master, I am your scholar Xiao Dede......

"Huh!!" The guards who followed around were all goosebumps.

My God, who the are you heading for? Zhao Xian's scalp was numb by the disgusting sound of "Little Dede". Almost kicked the dead fat man out. Is this a scholar? This is obviously a child prostitute, okay.

"Poof!" Su Wanyun's cold temperament even laughed out loud, picking up the wooden box and looking at him, with indescribable joy on her face.

Zhao Xian's elbow turned out, and Side was quite depressed. Seeing her joke, my heart moved again. The general said with a straight face: "Little Susu." See, this is a prostitute... Phew, what a scholar should look like. You study hard. ”

Su Wanyun's smile froze immediately, and then it became cold again, she definitely didn't want to learn such disgusting movements and sounds, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xian a few times murderously.

Fight with me, you are still a little tender, Zhao Xian directly ignored her gaze, and snorted secretly: What are you staring at? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat you, he would definitely have to let you learn the four virtues.

At this time, the officials of Honglu Temple saw that Zhao Xian had arrived, and they also hurriedly greeted him, and said with a pleasant smile: "Gaosi, the judge of Honglu Temple, has seen Uncle Zhao, and meeting with the envoys of Dongying is an important matter for the country, and the Prime Minister specially sent me to help you." ”

This person is in his forties, amiable-looking, and at first glance he is the kind of person who is very good at talking.

"Oh?!" Zhao Xian didn't know that he still had helpers, he nodded a few times, took one of the wooden boxes in Su Wanyun's hand, stuffed them into his arms and said, "There's nothing to help with, but since Lord Gao came to help, he can't let you be idle, so help hold the box." ”

"Uh..." The corners of Gauss's mouth twitched immediately, what he said was politely helping Zhao Xian, which was to save face for An Guogong. This time I met with the envoy of Dongying, he and Zhao Xian's position was on the same level, and he still had the right to stop Zhao Xian's chaos, and Zhao Xian, who thought about it, directly called him up.

However, the box was all in his hand, and Gauss was not easy to throw out, so he had to hug the box with a not very good-looking face, and followed Zhao Xian into the Siyi Pavilion.

The room for discussion was very large, with a red carpet on the floor, two rows of seats in the middle, a tall screen on the wall, and nothing else, simple and dignified.

"Zhao Xianjun, you are here." As soon as he entered the hall of the reception, the short and sturdy Takeda Nobumasa jumped up angrily, rushed to the door and said menacingly: "I, the most heroic warrior in Dongying, Takeda Nobuya, believe your words, you, as the heir of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, have rudely deceived me, and have thrown us in Siyi for so many days without seeing us, and my sincerity has been greatly damaged." ”

"Yo Yo Yo!" Zhao Xian looked flattered, and hurriedly made a gesture of stretching out his hand to help, and said with a cheap smile: "Takeda-kun, talk is talking, don't kneel, don't kneel, get up quickly, how embarrassing, the man has gold ...... under his knees"

Su Wanyun, who followed in, was stumbling when she heard this, and almost threw the wooden box in her hand to the ground, looking at Zhao Xian, who was bullying people with her tall stature, she didn't laugh or not, so she had to turn her head and look away.

Gauss, as one of the ministers who met Dongying, was startled when he saw this, and he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but saw Takeda Nobuyama take a step back and said solemnly: "Zhao Xianjun, this prince is not kneeling. ”

Zhao Xian was amused by his serious explanation, nodded and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's too high here to see well, and I didn't notice it for a while." ”

Takeda Nobuyama was accustomed to seeing the well-informed officials of the Great Liang, and he was arrogant enough before, but when he suddenly met such a hooligan, he was really a little overwhelmed, flicked his sleeves and snorted, and sat back at the table.

Gauss was greatly surprised when he saw this, and he didn't refute it when he saw Dongying's envoy suffer a loss for the first time, and the strong sense of pride brought by Zhao Xian's strength was born from his heart, and his waist involuntarily hardened a little, and he quickly put away his words of persuasion, and did it opposite Takeda Nobuya without saying a word.

Zhao Xian sat down in the opposite seat with a big grin, and Sister Su's attendant also walked in and stood behind Zhao Xian, Gauss saw a subordinate break into such a solemn occasion, and couldn't help but say: "Meeting with the envoys of Dongying is a major event of the country, let's go out." ”

Zhao Xian looked left and right, and the wide room was full of envoys and ministers and an official in charge of recording. He was the only one who brought an idle man and so on, which Gauss obviously said to him.

Zhao Xian smiled casually, pointed to Su Wanyun behind him and said: "He is my personal scholar, the kind that never leaves an inch day and night, he is absolutely loyal to me, so it's no problem for him to stay here." ”

There was a slight pain on his back, obviously pinched, and Zhao Xian didn't care.

Gauss was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at his cheeks slightly red. Handsome and scary pretty scholar. I understood what Zhao Xian meant. Daliang's literary style is at its peak, and there are not a few literati who are good at men, and lingering in Qinglou is generally elegant and interesting, not unsightly. Zhao Xian is a famous talent. Well, it's not surprising.

But now it's a serious occasion. It would be undignified to bring a pedophile in after all, but Gauss still said: "Uncle Zhao, meeting with the Dongying envoy is about important matters in the imperial court." Let a subordinate stick in here..."

"Tall, sir." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xian snorted lightly and said unhappily: "He is my person, even if he hears anything, he will not say anything, you are so suspicious, can you still suspect that he is a spy of Northern Qi, and you can't eavesdrop on our conversation?" ”

When the words fell, Su Wanyun's body trembled violently, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

In an instant, it was hidden and clean, and no one found out.

She looked at Zhao Xian coldly and scolded Gauss, the words of trust, the protective eyes, and her heart tightened inexplicably.

The expression of his eyes was a little complicated, and gradually turned into hesitation, and after a while, he calmed down again.

"Don't dare, Uncle Zhao laughed." Although Gauss was not very satisfied, but for a subordinate to offend Zhao Xian after all, it was not appropriate to draw it inappropriately, if Zhao Xian's subordinates were all spies of the Northern Qi Dynasty, then it was estimated that the beam would collapse from the inside in a short time.

He shook his head slightly, and did not insist on letting the idlers and others retreat.

Zhao Xian was satisfied, knocked on the table and said to Takeda Xinchang: "Takeda-kun, let's start talking." ”

As soon as the words fell, the white sleeves suddenly passed in his ears, and the fragrant wind blew, and the wooden boxes were placed on the table.

raised his eyes to look, but saw Su Wanyun quietly lowering her eyes, and bowed and said, "Young master, it's not appropriate for outsiders to be present in such important matters after all, and the little one will retire first...... Thank you for believing in the little ones. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out, closing the door gently, leaving only a few wisps of fragrance behind him.

Zhao Xian looked back at the disappearing shadow, with a few doubts in his eyes.

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he was silent for a long time before he turned around, shook his head and smiled.

Looking at the eyes of the room, he spread his hands and said: "This kid is very jealous, I'm afraid that he will be angry with the tall adult, and he will have to spend a lot of effort to please him at night, tired!" ”

Gauss laughed dryly, showing a few 'I understand' expressions, and hurriedly said no.

Takeda Nobuyama was already impatient, and patted the table at this time and said: "Zhao Xianjun, I, Emperor Dongying, have made two requests to your country, one is to temporarily lend Songjiang Mansion to our country, and the other is to marry the princess Zhurou of your country to the greatest warrior of Dongying, I, the prince of Dongying, your old emperor has died, and this prince can wait for two more days, but now that ten days have passed, can your new emperor agree to our request?" ”

Behind the ornate screen that the room had been decorating, there were suddenly a few small sounds, like rapid breathing, but they were too small for anyone to notice.

Zhao Xian plucked out his ears and chuckled: "Takeda-kun, the emperor has left this matter to me with full authority, you should ask me if I agree." ”

Takeda Nobuya's face immediately sank a little, and it didn't seem like he agreed when he heard this.

He slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Zhao Xianjun, if you don't agree to my request, my Emperor's fleet, I won't send a ship to help you, and when the time comes, the Northern Qi will go south,

You're all dead, you're all dead. ”

Zhao Xian stopped him, sat up straight and said: "Songjiang Mansion is an important land for Daliang, and it is impossible to assign it to Dongying, please remember this, Brother Takeda." ”

Takeda said dissatisfied: "You and I Dongying are allies, we are just temporarily borrowing the area of Songjiang Mansion, and using the trees there to build ships only to help you deal with the Northern Qi, if you don't agree, we won't help you!" ”

It's about borrowing, if you really lend it, don't want to get it back in your life. Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled: "Brother Takeda, I will build the boat myself, and the An family has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, and it is only a matter of a few words to squeeze out a naval army, and it is impossible for Songjiang Mansion to give it to you." ”

Takeda Nobuyama also knew that there was little hope of asking Matsue Mansion to come over once, and he would wait until he went back. The harassment of Northern Qi is lighter, which increases the pressure on the beams, and they have to agree if they don't agree to come back next year.

Therefore, Takeda Nobumasa did not insist, and continued: "That is to agree to our second request, Princess Zhurou plus two million taels of silver, not a single cent is missing, can you make it up?" ”

Two million taels of silver? It's more than a year's tax on the beam. Zhao Xian's face changed, he didn't expect this to be there, he refused without thinking about it: "No, we won't agree to the second request." The princess is as precious as a fairy. will never marry Dongying. ”

"Yaga!" Hearing this, Takeda Nobumasa was angry, stood up and said angrily: "You guys, do you want to break with me, yes or no?" I. The greatest warrior of the East. How can you not be worthy of your princess? ”

Gauss was also in a hurry. Hurriedly looked at Zhao Xian and whispered: "Uncle Zhao, you can't just refuse, it's still useful for Dongying to keep it." You can't talk to them like this, Songjiang Mansion can be kept, if you really can't, Her Royal Highness the princess has already agreed, so she agreed to the second request, but the silver will be reduced. ”

Zhao Xian didn't bother to pay attention to Gauss, he also stood up and propped up the table, looked at Takeda Nobuya, and said: "This second request, the imperial court has actually agreed, but I stopped it, do you know why?" ”

Takeda Nobuya's brows furrowed, he looked Zhao Xian up and down a few times, thinking of his identity as the heir of the general of the Zhenguo, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Zhao Xianjun also wants to marry Princess Zhurou?" ”

In this way, even Gauss believed a little, if Zhao Xian married the princess of the dynasty, he would become the emperor's brother-in-law, and this relationship would be beneficial to his future growth.

Takeda Nobuyama thought of this, so he hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "If Zhao Xianjun has fallen in love with your princess, this prince will naturally not be able to snatch love with a sword, but two million taels of silver should be added to three million taels, and not a penny will be missing." ”

Takeda Nobuya's purpose is naturally not for a princess, money is the most important thing, the princess is of no use except for offering back, the silver with white flowers is good, and he can take the opportunity to blackmail Zhao Xian, so he naturally has to seize the opportunity.

Thinking of Ye Sha's hot confession and desperate eyes in the Buddhist hall, a little complexity flashed in Zhao Xian's eyes, he was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled softly: "Takeda-kun, I and the princess are private matters, so let's not mention it for the time being, but I will never let the princess of Daliang marry Dongying, as for the matter of silver..."

"Negotiable, negotiable." Gauss hurriedly answered, for fear that Zhao Xian would give away all the three million taels of silver in one bite, and it would be a big trouble.

Takeda Nobuya's expression was overjoyed, and before he could be happy, he saw Zhao Xian patting the table: "I won't give you a penny." ”

"What?" Gauss was shocked and shouted in unison with Takeda Nobuyasa.

Takeda Nobumasa almost jumped on the table angrily, and said angrily: "You don't give it to Songjiang Mansion, you don't give it to the princess, you don't even give the silver, do you want to break off friendship with me?" ”

Gauss was also quite anxious, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Zhao Xian pick up the wooden box on the table, put it in front of Takeda Xinchang, and said mysteriously: "No, don't worry, Takeda-kun, I'll show you something to ensure that you don't want silver anymore." ”

"Oh?!" Takeda Nobuya's anger did not decrease, and he said arrogantly: "What is it, show it to Prince Ben." ”

Zhao Xian was like a salesman engaged in pyramid schemes, showing an exaggerated expression, opening the wooden box, revealing a well-made arquebus wrapped in brocade cloth inside, he smiled: "Prince Takeda, do you recognize this thing?" ”

Takeda Nobuyama skimmed casually, and his eyes were attracted, their fleet had enough of the loss of the Northern Qi spears and short cannons on the sea, and they had also captured a few damaged ones, but unfortunately they didn't have the technology to study for a long time and killed many people and didn't copy it.

And although there are some differences between Zhao Xian's fire gun and the Northern Qi one, it is brand new and just made, he picked it up like a baby and looked at it, and said excitedly: "Zhao Xianjun, this, this fire gun, where did you get it?" ”

Gauss was also quite surprised, the Great Liang was quite unfamiliar with the firecracker, mainly because the Northern Qi Dynasty had an extremely strict technical blockade of the Great Liang, and the heavy artillery could not be transported when attacking the Northern Qi, and the number of firecrackers did not play a big role in attacking the city, so most of the firecrackers dealt with the Tartar cavalry in the north, so that the high-ranking officials of the Great Liang court had never seen the real thing.

However, as a diplomat, Gauss always has some understanding of the situation in foreign countries, and he has heard the name of Huogong, so he is very surprised where Zhao Xian got this thing.

The Northern Qi Dynasty has played with the flintlock rifled gun codenamed 'Little Cannon', and you haven't even seen an arquebus, so you deserve to be beaten like this.

Zhao Xian sighed secretly in his heart, picked up the arquebus and said solemnly: "Takeda-kun, it doesn't matter how you get it, the important thing is that I have the manufacturing method in my hand, you should know the power of this thing, after you get it, at sea, with your invincible fleet, if you don't beat the Northern Qi and can't find the north, this thing should be worth more than a few million taels of silver, right?" ”

Takeda Shinmasa doesn't know what 'blind fire rate' is, he only knows that this thing is Dongying's nightmare in the hands of Northern Qi, shooting farther than a bow and arrow, hitting more accurately than a bow and arrow, if Dongying masters its manufacturing method, it is definitely a matter of time before the sea dominates, and I am afraid that even the beam can swallow most of it.

The slogan of the rise of the Yamato nation sounded in Takeda Nobuya's mind, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes, and he just wanted to agree, but he felt dissatisfied.

Wutian Xinchang rolled his eyes, suddenly threw the arquebus on the table, and said with pretense of disdain: "This thing, it's very useless, it's not as good as our noble bushido spirit, our katana is the strongest weapon, and we don't need this." ”

"Oh?!" Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, without saying a word, loaded the gunpowder projectile, took a few steps back and aimed at Takeda Xinchang, and said with a smile: "In this case, Takeda-kun uses your katana, how about I use this useless thing to have a battle between warriors?" (To be continued......)
