Chapter 491: Becoming an Imperial Merchant
Rong Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly and said, "Master Qiao, it's a long story, we are all okay right now." ”
Having said that, Qiao Wenxuan has received accurate information, and this wanted notice will be delivered soon, and they will be imprisoned at that time.
"While it's still too late, I've already sent someone to the house to pack your things, I have some people at the city gate, they can escort you out of the city, first avoid the wanted warrant, the farther you go, the better!" Qiao Wenxuan didn't want to watch them in distress, and when he received the wanted warrant, he began to give them advice.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan were slightly surprised, they didn't expect Qiao Wenxuan to think so well for them, "Master Qiao, we really thank you for your kindness, but you also know that we came all the way to the Holy Ma Kingdom this time to find it easy, and now that we have eyebrows, it is impossible for us to leave at this juncture." ”
Qiao Wenxuan's brows wrinkled together, "But this wanted warrant has come down, and it is even more difficult for you to see the Holy Son than to ascend to the sky!" ”
Qiao Wenxuan tried hard to persuade them to leave, but Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan were stubborn and insisted on staying, unwilling to leave the city.
The two sides were deadlocked, Qiao Wenxuan finally sighed, and said helplessly, "I understand your thoughts, so let's do it, I, Qiao, will accompany you to block it, and I will help you avoid the wanted warrant!" ”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and they hurriedly asked, "Master Qiao, do you have any way?" ”
Qiao Wenxuan pursed his lips and looked out of the door and said, "I just received an invitation letter from the king, he will have a banquet for the imperial merchants in the evening, and the king is the only one who can cancel the wanted warrant of the saint, you wait for the news for the time being, I will definitely help you fight for the opportunity to speak." ”
Rong Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Thank you to the head of the Qiao family for coming to the rescue!" ”
Qiao Wenxuan waved his hand, "It's all my own family who don't talk to each other, I'll go over first, and you just wait here." ”
Saying that, Qiao Wenxuan asked Rong Yan for some hybrid rice before leaving, and then entered the palace.
The country of Shengma is heavy on business, so the Qiao family, as the leader of the imperial merchants of the country of Shengma, is naturally very valued by the king, and the main characters of this state banquet are also dominated by the Qiao family.
The banquet officially began, singing and dancing, drinking and talking, Qiao Wenxuan pretended to have something in his heart, and he was also absent-minded when he talked, the king saw at a glance that something was wrong with him, so he asked, "Master Qiao, why are you worried?" ”
Qiao Wenxuan's body was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted, and hurriedly got up and replied, "Back to the king, Xiaomin recently discovered a new kind of rice, and he thought it was quite novel, so he thought about it, and asked the king to atone for his sins." ”
The king waved his hand disappreciatively, but was interested in the novel rice in his words, "Master Qiao, what kind of rice are you talking about?" ”
Qiao Wenxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head and replied, "King Qiyu, it is hybrid rice, which is not only of good quality, but also produces more than three times as much grain as ordinary rice. ”
Listening to Qiao Wenxuan's description, the king was surprised, "Oh? And such a miraculous rice? ”
Qiao Wenxuan smiled slightly, "Exactly, Xiaomin happens to have some on him, please take a look." ”
Qiao Wenxuan handed over the small bag he was carrying to the guards, and then handed it to the king, who opened it carefully, and sure enough, as Qiao Wenxuan said, there was such a high-quality rice, which was extremely rare in the resource-poor country of Shengma.
Qiao Wenxuan had already anticipated the king's reaction and continued, "King, this hybrid rice not only looks of good quality, but it is also even more delicious when made into a meal. ”
The more the king looked at it, the more he felt the novelty, and immediately asked the imperial chef to take it down, and soon a bowl of fragrant rice was presented in front of the king, the king blinked in surprise, and then tasted one or two, this rice is mellow and delicate, and the hard rice they usually eat can be described as a difference between heaven and earth!
"Wonderful, this hybrid rice really lives up to its name, the head of the Qiao family, I don't know who planted this hybrid rice?" The king took several bites of food before asking.
Qiao Wenxuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly replied, "Back to the king, this hybrid rice originated from a woman's invention named Zhao Yunling, and her husband have been in the business of hybrid rice, and they are also well-known in the city. ”
"Oh? Is it a woman? It's really interesting, I think this hybrid rice is really wonderful, I wonder if this woman has the will to become an imperial merchant? The king said meaningfully.
Food is the foundation of the country, and besides, the barren land of their Shengma country needs such talents, and the king naturally does not want to let go of such talents.
Qiao Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh lightly and shook his head when he heard this, "It's their blessing to be able to become the imperial merchant of the Holy Mart Kingdom, but it's just ......"
The king frowned slightly, "But what? ”
Qiao Wenxuan said bluntly, "King Qiyu, don't you know, the Holy Son has been ill recently, and the people are speculating that it was the Rong family who contradicted the Holy Sect that caused the Holy Son to fall ill, and the Holy Maiden also issued a wanted warrant, I'm afraid that the Rong family will not be blessed to lose your favor!" ”
The king frowned slightly when he heard this, and the entourage beside him explained in his ear before he understood, he pondered for a moment and said, "This is not a big deal, I heard that the body of the Holy Son is already recovering, and there is no need to issue any more wanted warrants, you can go back and ask the meaning of the Rong family, whether you can become the imperial merchant of my Holy Mart Kingdom." ”
Immediately, the king canceled the wanted warrant for the Rong family at the state banquet, and they also turned the corner, and Qiao Wenxuan went back and told them the good news as soon as possible.
Rong Yan was grateful to Qiao Wenxuan for his rescue, Qiao Wenxuan waved his hand disappreciably, "I just pulled the thread in it, if you don't have hybrid rice, even if I have great ability, I can't do it, the king also promised that if you are willing to be the imperial businessman, you will be the guest of honor in the Shengma Kingdom in the future." ”
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan glanced at each other when they heard this, with the protection of the imperial power, it would be convenient for them to act in the future, so they agreed.
On the other side of the Holy Sect, Lin Feng quickly informed the Holy Maiden after getting the news, and the Holy Maiden was furious, but after all, her power was not as great as the king's, so she could only hold back this evil breath, and at the same time she had murderous intentions towards Rong Yan.
......
Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling agreed to be imperial merchants, and the king invited them into the palace to face the saint, and Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan entered the palace together in front of the king.
"Folk girl, small people to the king to see the king." Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan had instructed Qiao Wenxuan on the rules of their Holy Ma Kingdom before they came, but the king didn't have a little arrogance, and waved his hand with a smile.
"You are the guests of honor in my kingdom of Sainte-Ma, you don't have to bow down in the future, please sit down!" The king enthusiastically seated the two of them.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan both took advantage of the king's face, and naturally dealt with it carefully and respectfully.
After some conversation, the king understood Qiao Wenxuan's previous praise of the talent of the husband and wife, but he didn't expect that this time he also picked up the treasure, if the hybrid rice continued to be promoted, there would not be so many beggars in the city.
"Gongzi Rong, Mrs. Rong, two talented people, worthy of being the guests of our Holy Ma Kingdom!" The king did not hesitate to praise himself, and Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan were also moved by the king's frankness.
"The king, you are too humble, and it is also our blessing to be able to help the kingdom of Shengma become an imperial merchant." Zhao Yunling also replied politely, and at the same time took advantage of the king's affection.
After a brief conversation, the king still had a piece of money to approve, so he let Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan go out of the palace first.
In order to express his sincerity, the king deliberately let his entourage send them out of the palace, the two of them were on the way out of the palace, the road met a pool, there was a girl playing next to the pool, but one accidentally tripped over a stone, seeing that the girl was about to fall into the water, Rong Yan found it at first sight, and flew over with light skills, and stopped his waist to save the girl who was about to fall into the water.
"Oh, auntie, why did you run out to play again, thank you Gongzi Rong for saving our princess, otherwise the lives of the little ones will not be saved!" Before Rong Yan could land, a group of maids and attendants ran over and knelt down to thank him.
And the girl rescued in Rong Yan's arms was overwhelmed by his appearance when she saw Rong Yan's glance, her face was shy, Rong Yan frowned slightly when she heard this, and put the princess down, "It turned out to be a princess, the villain is offended." ”
"Childe doesn't have to be like this, Princess Ben has to thank you for saving me." The princess looked shy, and secretly glanced at Rong Yan a few times, but Zhao Yunling had a full view, and only women know women's thoughts best, it seems that Rong Yan is quite good at attracting bees and butterflies.
Rong Yan also knew the measure, and there was no expression on his face, so he turned around and followed Zhao Yunling out of the palace together.
The princess's eyes were on Rong Yan's body and never left, until she couldn't see anyone, "Xiaolan, who was that son just now?" ”
The personal palace maid beside her replied, "If the slave maid is not mistaken, that prince should be the prince of the throne invited by the king." ”
The princess looked happy, turned around and immediately walked towards the palace.
......
On the other hand, when the saint learned that her wanted warrant had been revoked by the king, she refused to give up and went to the palace to meet the king.
"King, may I say that you have received the men and women of the Rong family? And for them to revoke my wanted warrant? "Although the Holy Maiden is a member of the Holy Religion, she still can't match the royal palace, and her speech is also a little weaker.
The king raised his eyebrows slightly, "You're right, now that the Rong family has become an imperial merchant and my guest, do you have any other opinions?" ”
The Holy Maiden's eyes sank, and she didn't smile at her, "What did you say, King, your guests are also from our Holy Sect, but you have also heard about it, this Rong family is a disaster, it is because of them that our Holy Son will be sick, you have to be careful." ”
When the king heard her words, his eyes sank slightly, and he turned his head to look at her, "I heard that the Holy Son's condition has improved, and it has nothing to do with the Rong family, so there is no need to worry about this matter anymore." ”
