Evil Horse Country?

Xia Fan's right hand shook, and he had already pinched the copper wire pendant in his sleeve pocket on his fingertips. As long as the other party made any abnormal movement, his streamer technique could immediately pull a barrier formed by an arc of electricity in front of him.

"You're the mastermind behind Gaoshan County?"

"Commander?" May Yao was slightly stunned, and quickly shook his head, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, although the evil horse and Dongsheng are of the same origin, what they ask for and do is not the same. ”

What kind of place is Dongsheng Kingdom?Xia Fan found that he couldn't turn around, "What do you mean...... You have more than one country there?"

"Dongsheng is a rebellion of the princes, a puppet country that has established itself as a king, and it cannot be generalized with evil horses!" the man couldn't help but interject.

May Haruka did not echo, "Which kingdom has not evolved from small to large and step by step? It is rumored that the evil horse was just a small tribe hundreds of years ago. ”

"Lord May!" said the other party urgently.

"By saying this, it does not mean that I intend to give up my rebellion - Dongshengguo is fierce and vicious, and he will do everything he can, my people will be reduced to slavery, and all those who disobey will be slaughtered, and I will not allow them to swallow up the evil horses. Speaking of this, she bowed her head slightly and said, "I hope that your country can help the evil horse for the sake of the covenant, and I and the national princess will be grateful." ”

That's a lot of information.

Xia Fan pondered, if what the other party said was true, then it was obvious that in a hundred years, not only Yongguo had undergone earth-shaking upheavals, but the other side of the sea was also almost the same, so that as soon as the long-interrupted contact was restored, the first thing that was brought over there was a request for help.

He took a closer look at May - judging from her appearance, she was a little younger than Ning Wanjun, her hair was a rare gray-brown color, there was no crown on the top of her head or a bun, her hair was pulled back into a slender bun, and a blue hairband was tied, this style of dress was indeed quite different from Qiguo.

The biggest difference from ordinary people is that she does not have black eyes and black eyes, but the bottom circle is blue, like a bay on a sunny day.

This alien physical trait does have some persuasiveness.

It's just that the sea traffic, which has been silent for so long, has now quietly resumed? Xia Fan feels a little strange no matter how he thinks about it, whether it is Evil Horse or Dongsheng, there is always a demand for trade, right? Not to mention that there are also many well-informed wealthy merchant families in Qiguo, if there is one more trade object that can be navigated, they will not be unresponsive.

No...... And that's not the most important question.

The key is, why didn't the other party find the government, but wanted to find him for introduction?

After thinking for a while, Xia Fan decided to touch the other party's details first, and then said, "I do have an intersection with Princess Guangping, but it is not so good that I can see it if I want to." If you want to see her, I'm afraid this reason won't work. ”

"Why?"

He picked up a slice of fish tart, dipped some sauce in his mouth. "As you can see, the eternal kingdom no longer exists, and the so-called hundred-year covenant should be a matter of the previous dynasty. If you are coming as a foreign envoy, you should also send an official document to the local government and wait for a reply from the Ministry of Rites. What's more, to help foreign countries, you need to use swords and soldiers, such a big thing, you don't think Princess Guangping can do it alone, right?"

"I've tried, but I've never gotten a reply. I want to ...... Perhaps the Dongsheng Kingdom has infiltrated your country's government. May Haruka breathed a sigh of relief again, "I also know that it is difficult to send assistance, so I only ask your country to stop the private salt trade with Dongsheng, so that the evil horse can relieve some pressure." ”

"What did you say?" Xia Fan was surprised, "Selling salt?"

"Yes, our country is located on the sea, the terrain is long and narrow, and salt resources are extremely scarce, so the side that occupies the salt producing area naturally has an advantage. It was by buying a large amount of salt from the mainland country that Dongsheng bought and won over other princes that he was able to encircle and suppress the warriors of our country on the battlefield and win them by numbers. ”

Xia Fan's mind flashed like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

The Wang family is actually selling salt to foreign countries!

The previous fragments of information were all pieced together by this single clue.

Since he traded such an important resource, he probably got more than just money. The magistrate of Gaoshan County has a ninja-like aura monk around him, and he should be inseparable from the Wang family. If the murder witnessed by Li was also instigated by the Wang family, then where did the people who died in the caves in the back mountains of Gaoshan County come from, the answer is already faintly coming out.

As the designated salt merchant of Jinxia City, he does have a reason to have the ability to deal with those who burn and sell salt privately, and for these prisoners who have been sentenced to death, as long as he does a little trick on the side of the government, it is not difficult for them to die in another way - after all, no one cares about the final fate of these criminals. And the mechanism in the grotto can not only deal with the corpses, but also please the Privy Council, which is undoubtedly a double thing.

It can be said that in this evil case, none of the Shenzhou officialdom, Jinxia salt merchants, and Jinxia Privy Council are innocent characters.

Everyone got a piece of the pie.

And the common people who died in vain because of evil are the insignificant "price".

Xia Fan took a deep breath.

Thinking of Zhuzhi County twenty years ago, perhaps the situation is even worse.

"Is there anything that proves your identity?"

May Yao slowly handed over an old piece of vellum paper.

Xia Fan spread it out and found that the handwriting on it was jerky and distorted—it was the ancient script used by Yongguo again.

Although it is difficult for the average person to think of using this kind of text to forge it, from the point of view of insurance, it can only be considered reliable proof if it is translated.

"I can arrange a meeting for you. Xia Fan raised his head, "But we have to wait until this covenant is verified." ”

Verify ...... What?"

"Of course it's the above, you don't think anyone can understand it, do you?"

"How...... Will you?" said May Haruka, "This is not your Fang Shi...... Did you ever use a secret language?"

In the past, the alchemists still had to learn one more language? This information was not even mentioned by Luo Qingqing. Xia Fan said quietly, "Maybe it has nothing to do with the cultivation of the arts, so it's canceled." After all, it was all a hundred years ago. ”

"Verification requires...... For how long?"

Her voice grew lower.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xia Fan noticed that the other party's face was ruddy and something was not quite right.

With his question, May shook twice and leaned to the side.

"Mistress May, Miko-sama!" the man next to her cried out in a panic as he grabbed her.

"What's going on?" Xia Fan frowned.

"Lord May was infected with a cold earlier, and he hasn't recovered, and his body is almost unable to hold on!"

He got up and walked over to the other party, reached out and felt that the other person's forehead was as hot as if it were boiling.

"She has to be treated as soon as possible. ”

"But we lost all of our entanglements when we crossed the sea, and—" the man hesitated, "and you've always been the only ones you want to kill the aliens. ”

Aliens?

Xia Fan was stunned and reached out to pick the other party's hood.

A pair of short, pointed ears appeared in front of him.
