Volume 1 The Guest Star Comes to the East Chapter 46 The Guest Follows the Lord (1)
Changxing Port is the closest port to Xuanchen in the 100 ports of Shizhou, Yuhu Island, where Changxing Port is located, is the closest island to Xuanchen among the ten islands of Shizhou, and Yuhu Country on Yuhu Island is the closest country to Xuanchen in the 28 countries of Shizhou.
Before Yang Huanfeng came, he studied the national conditions and people's conditions of the states and the national policies of diplomatic relations, and finally came to only one conclusion - it was too chaotic.
People often say that there are four realms and ten islands and twenty-eight countries in Shizhou, and these four realms and ten islands are dead, and they are drawn on the map, and they can't change if they want to, but the twenty-eight countries are alive - the twenty-eight countries are still the twenty-eight countries, but the territory of the country is changing, and the lords of the country are also changing, and they have become so frequent and trivial, that the history books of Shizhou can only be written on the thinnest cicada wing paper in the world, and described in the world's most concise Antai ancient language, even so, after a year, the manuscript can fill a bedroom of 20 square meters.
The reason for this chaos is that Ichisu is a merchant nation through and through, and the lord is the biggest merchant among them.
The lords of the states of Shizhou are called giants, and now people often say "Shizhou Seventeen Giants", "Shizhou" and "Juzi" in the middle of this number, two years ago it was "eighteen", three years ago it was "twenty", ten years ago it was "thirteen", throughout the history of Shizhou, can correspond to the "Shizhou Twenty-eight Kingdoms" one by one, only stayed in the short-lived seven degrees of spring and autumn.
The giants of the city often compare themselves to craftsmen, and the state is their product, whether they buy low and sell high, hoard, or elaborately crafted, strengthen the body and fat, the means may be different, but the purpose is the same.
Just as a merchant does not have any personal affection for the goods he handles and resells, the magnates of the city are never keen to brand their own brand on the country. Therefore, the giants of a territory have come and gone, but the names of the twenty-eight countries have never changed.
It is worth mentioning that there is also unfair competition between giants like between merchants, assassins and spies, and there is no other place in the world that relies on them as much as Ichizu. It is often joked that the traditional twenty-nine tables used in the city were intended to allow a country to install a spy and leave one for the Assassins.
Yang Huanfeng originally wanted to compare and weigh among the twenty-eight countries, and then choose the one with the most suitable interests to form an alliance with the greedy spirit. He nested in the national library of Changxing Port for three days and three nights, and he did not find a clue.
Let's just pick the nearest one.
It seems that the giant who now controls this Yuhu country at least has the heart to rule the country, although I don't know when he will sell this country with the heart to rule, but the alliance with my greedy spirit and this power that will dominate a large area of land on the other side of the Aral Sea in the future will definitely allow him to earn more than one point at that time.
Yang also yawned heavily, then closed the thick history book in his hand and put it back on the shelf. When he walked out of the national treasure house, it was already another morning outside.
......
In Changxinggang and Baoyang Street, in a restaurant called "Guanhaixuan", there is only Cai Huan in the huge hall. The guy in the store brought a basket of steamed buns and three different pickles, Cai Huan didn't say anything, just looked out the window.
It has been three days since I came to Changxing Port, and on the first day, I asked Qi Zuo's whereabouts at the wharf. Cai Huan wanted to leave for Xingkou immediately, hoping to meet Qi Zuo as soon as possible, but she only had a few coins and broken silver on her, and it was not enough to take a boat from Changxing Port in this city to Taiwei Xingkou, thousands of miles away.
She wanted to borrow some silver taels from Yang Huanfeng, but when she mentioned that she wanted to leave, the latter would just borrow it, and she would have to pay off the ferry fare from Zuo Shijin to this Changxing Port first.
Under the compromise, Cai Huan agreed to accompany him to the giant in Shizhou to ask for an alliance, and after that, Yang Huanfeng agreed to lend her travel expenses.
A penny is difficult for heroes, and it is also difficult for women. Cai Huan sat on the stool on the bed of Guanhaixuan, and there was no moment when he was not sitting on pins and needles. That Yang Huanfeng said that he would go to the Guojian Treasury to solve the political situation of Shizhou and go back, but for three consecutive days, Cai Huan went back to his room to sleep at night, and packed his luggage and guarded in front of the gate of Guanhaixuan every day, and there was no trace of that guy every day.
It's another morning, Cai Huan came down to this hall early, and sat by the window for a while. The guy brought the breakfast that the two of them had when he saw the situation, and then removed half of it according to the situation.
I don't know if anyone has hired guards in Changxinggang, Cai Huan thought about what he had in his body, and only thought that this one could make money.
It would be better if there was a need for a guard. Thinking so, Cai Huan decided not to wait for the unreliable guy to come back, and instead set off to look for a suitable job on the docks.
Before the remaining plate of pickles and half a basket of steamed buns on the table moved, Cai Huan got up from the stool and walked towards the door of Guanhaixuan.
The guy in the store was about to go up to stop her, but after thinking about it, the money for the room and the meal were not all paid by the boy who was traveling with her, and the boy's luggage had not been packed yet, so he must not be able to run. So the men ignored her, and went to the table to collect their meal.
At this time, customers came in the store one after another, Cai Huan tightened the luggage on his shoulders with one hand, avoided a few people sideways, and walked to the door before stepping out of the threshold, and saw a person next to him dragging his tired body into the store like a walking corpse, his eyes seemed to have not closed for a few days, he was groggy and groggy, and it took a lot of effort to open and see the road-
The foot was not lifted enough, and he tripped over the threshold, and his body fell forward.
This person is Yang Huanfeng, who read the history books for three nights in the Guojian Library in Changxing Port. Cai Huan was still not ruthless enough, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart that had been left dry by him for three days, and reached out to catch him.
Yang Huanfeng, who fell on Cai Huan's arm, was not in a hurry to get up, he just raised his head, shook his head and was sober, and saw that the person in front of him was a pretty woman, her face was still drowsy, but there was a drunken smile.
Cai Huan frowned when he saw this, let go of his hand when he caught it, and walked away with his back to the side.
Yang Huanfeng was helped and didn't stand up straight, but when he let go, he staggered forward and fell to the ground with a snap.
This sound is really compassionate, Cai Huan was going to sit down, and when he heard the sound, he went over to take a look-
Inside the gate, Yang Huanfeng fell to the ground as if he was dead and didn't get up anymore, Cai Huan squatted down next to his head to see if he was hurt anywhere, and a heavy snoring sound came from the nasal cavity.
......
Cai Huan called two guys to carry Yang Huanfeng back to the room, he slept too dead, went upstairs, entered the door, and threw himself on the bed, and after several tosses, he was motionless as if he was dead.
Yang Huanfeng's room is adjacent to Cai Huan's, but the internal structure is the opposite—facing the window, Cai Huan's bed is on the left, Yang Huanfeng's bed is on the right, and the rest of the tables, chairs, and cabinets are also arranged in the same symmetrical manner.
At this time, Cai Huan was a little glad that Yang Huanfeng hadn't returned to the room for the past three nights, after all, there was only a wall apart, and with his current snoring, it was rare to quarrel with her for a restless sleep in the middle of the night.
The two guys put the person on the bed and retreated, leaving only Cai Huan and Yang Huanfeng, who was asleep, in the room. Cai Huan sat at the table for a while, then wanted to get up and go out, and accidentally glanced at the burden of the arabesque pattern on the side of the bed-
Remembering that Yang Huanfeng took out the silver taels from there to pay for the boat fare, Cai Huan's evil thoughts flashed in his heart, and then he shook his head fiercely, wanting to get rid of this lack of morality.
No matter what Yang Huanfeng thinks, Cai Huan even plans to repay him for the ferry fare to come to Changxing Port. She is not the naturally charming woman who can be treated with the courtesy and poise of men, she does not feel that she is, nor does she intend to do.
But does she really not take Yang Huanfeng's diligence for granted? If he wasn't a frivolous young man, if he didn't always greet him with a smile, should Cai Huan have such an attitude towards this man who helped him several times?
On the pillow, Yang Huanfeng's mouth was wide open, his sleeping face was as contemptuous and uninhibited as when he woke up, and the dust on his cheeks had not yet fallen clean. Cai Huan got closer, saw the dust on half of his face, and really felt that he had taken revenge.
En is good, no matter how frivolous this guy is, he can't go unpaid.
Reflecting on this, Cai Huan decided to wait for him to wake up, as he said, he went to ask the giant in Shizhou for an alliance, and no longer fought the idea of slipping away alone.
And so on, and then another whole day.
......
When the sun set, it was the urine intention that woke Yang Huanfeng up, he pulled out the night pot under the bed, put clean water comfortably, and wanted to get back into the bed immediately while he was still sleepy.
Goo - Goo - Goo -
There was a long scream in his stomach, and before he could go back to bed, hunger preempted sleepiness.
Yang Huanfeng kicked the night pot under the bed, and then saw Cai Huan sitting on the couch by the window, and when he was frightened, the night pot was kicked to the ground.
Thinking that he had just taken out the water and salted the girl's eyes as if no one was around, even he Yang Huanfeng felt a little embarrassed.
He clasped his hands together, timidly walked to the couch by the window, and tentatively stretched out his neck to look—
Miss Cai rested her hands on the small table, holding a copy of "Fang Sheng's Travels", her back against the window, and her legs casually resting on the couch. One of the heads on the shoulders of the incense was crooked, and the eyes were slightly closed, and he had fallen asleep.
This face, which seemed to have been carved out of the ice, seemed to have only melted a little at this moment, and became much softer.
It's good if you don't see it, it's good if you don't see it. Yang Huanfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and wanted to hurry up to clean up the puddle of holy water on the ground, but his eyes were glued to that face, and he couldn't take it off.
He has seen many beauties, but there are those who cannot be played with from a distance, some who can be played with from a close view, some that provoke his love, and some that make him fascinated...... But like Cai Huan, such a high wall and such an iron wall of Jincheng, he has never tried his best to climb and overcome all the mechanisms.
The eyes of ice are more tender when they are turned into water, and the heart and liver of iron are more fiery when they are melted into fire.
Yang Huanfeng looked at this face more and more fond and surging, but the tip of the ivory carved nose suddenly sniffed, and a pair of slender willow eyebrows frowned lightly.
The cold light of the eyes slowly opened, and the brows furrowed even tighter.
"What does it smell like?"
She asked with a look of disgust.
