Some people may feel that there is a huge difference between civilian officials and military generals in their actions.

Especially in the face of danger, most of the military generals will stand up and fight, while the civilian officials will only hold their heads and run away.

In fact, this inherent perception is wrong.

In terms of physical fitness and willpower, civil officials are certainly inferior to military generals, but if it comes to loyalty to the head of the family, there is no difference between the two.

In particular, the envoys who went to the enemy positions to negotiate were no different from the battlefield, or rather, their success was even more than winning a battle in some sense.

Of course, Xia Feng is not the enemy of the Xigong family, but Xigong Yanshi, who came to the door on this trip, has the will and determination mentioned above.

Xigong Yanshi is not good-looking, long and thin, with a mustache on his face, and belongs to the standard dog-headed military division.

But the real worry in his eyes was not faked.

Obviously, he was genuinely uneasy about the current situation of the Nishinomiya family, rather than just looking for self-preservation after coping with the situation.

.....

It's winter, and the wind is cold in the pergola.

Xigong Yanshi sat opposite Xia Feng, and his attitude was humble to the extreme.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, first of all, please allow me to make amends to you and your friends, the reckless actions of the military generals of this family before are really ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and the head of the family has already severely punished them, and please ask Your Excellency Xia Feng not to remember the villain's mistakes, and forgive those vulgar martial artists."

Xia Feng didn't show a lot of generosity, and at the same time, he didn't pay attention, just said it flatly.

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Your Excellency Xia Feng doesn't care, it's fine."

Listening to the opening scene of this old guy completely lowering his profile, this is obviously the rhythm of digging a hole for him.

Xia Feng picked up the teacup in front of him, put it to his mouth, and found that a layer of ice had formed on the tea, and then put it down again.

"Mr. Yanshi, the previous incident has passed, there is no need to worry about it anymore, I am just curious, what is the matter of Mr. visiting the office today?"

Speaking of this, Xigong Yanshi unconsciously straightened his body, as if he was brewing emotions.

I saw him sigh a long sigh again, as if he had a terminal illness.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng is the dragon and phoenix among people, our Xigong family is clumsy, and we didn't even find out in advance that there was a big Buddha lying in your own territory, and we knew that there was a god general in our house, so we didn't have to be afraid."

"Wait a minute."

Xia Feng flew the hat that was suddenly buckled down in time.

"Mr. Yanshi, I'm sorry, I want to correct it, my surname is not Xigong, and I am not your own family, I am Victorian."

As if he had known that Xia Feng would say this, Xigong Yanshi continued without embarrassment at all.

"That's nature, with your Excellency's skills, how can you only succumb to my little Xichuan, the dragon among people, must soar between heaven and earth."

After filming this loud sycophant, without waiting for Xia Feng to respond, Xigong Yanshi whispered a key sentence in the back.

"But Long Xiang has been for nine days, and he still has to take a nap, and he has a temporary foothold, and he is not half a family."

In the face of such strong words that made people listen to very cool, Xia Feng was speechless to refute.

A master, a master, is indeed a master.

......

The wind in the yard was stronger, and there seemed to be a sporadic drizzle in the wind.

In fact, Xia Feng had long thought that the people of the Xigong family would come this time, and they would definitely use all their resources to pull him into the water.

If he had been closed to the door, these people would definitely be tireless, trying in every possible way to ask for a meeting again and again, and they would be annoying.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that people are not only smiling, but also humbly hold you to the sky, it's really hard to get down.

And taking a step back, he did do business in the area ruled by the Nishinomiya family, and he didn't pay taxes even if he didn't pay taxes.

To be reasonable, people are watching the sky, no matter what, hiding will not solve the problem.

....

But then again, it is reasonable to speak, but it cannot be followed by the other party's way, and the methods of politicians are very insidious.

After going through so many things, although Xia Feng is still smart and pretentious, he is still too tender in the face of real old fritters.

Therefore, in order to avoid saying too much and losing money, he needs to shorten the negotiation time as much as possible, and choose not to talk in the house but in the courtyard, which is the simplest and rude method.

He wanted to use the power of nature to tell Nishinomiya Yanshi that if there is something to say, there is a fart to let go quickly, and the weather is very cold.

.....

In the pergola, Xia Feng lifted the scarf upward, and the whole person shrank his neck.

"So what is the reason why Mr. Hikoshi is here?"

In the cold wind, Xigong Yanshi sat straight with his waist straight, and his voice suddenly became sonorous and powerful.

"Your Excellency may not know that the Eastern Kingdom has always been a three-legged standing, my Nishinomiya family, Sakura Takeshi family, and Kamino family, the three families have divided the world equally, and they have been maintained for decades, once this balance is broken, I am afraid that it will be ruined."

Xia Feng sniffed.

"Sir, let's be serious, in my opinion, the lives will not be ruined, but the losers will be smeared."

"No, Your Excellency may not understand the national conditions of the Eastern Kingdom, because of the pedantry of the previous rulers, the Eastern Kingdom has always been very closed, it can also be called very backward, the family cannot support a huge army, and can only give priority to cultivating military generals with troops, but once the war occurs, almost all the people will be soldiers, and everyone regardless of men, women and children will serve in the war."

At this moment, Nishinomiya Yanshi seemed to be incarnated as a savior who cared about the safety of the people, and even had light in his eyes.

Even seeing him like this, Xia Feng almost forgot that this war was originally provoked by the Xigong family.

....

The original cause of this dispute was that the Nishinomiya family had made trade with Longmen in recent years, and wanted to squeeze the Sakura Sakura family, who were still firmly in the land.

The Nishinomiya family first kept provoking at the junction, trying to find an opportunity to ignite the fuse of the war, and Sakura Wuyun had told him all these things.

Unexpectedly, after swallowing their anger for several months, the Sakura Warrior family suddenly took up the case, not only did they not defend it, but they also wanted to fight back.

The facts are here, however, at this time, Xia Feng did not deliberately break it, and there was no need to break it.

Because he knew, Nishinomiya knew that he knew the cause of the strife, and at the same time, he also knew, Nishinomiya knew that he knew that he knew that he knew the cause of the strife.

So he just wanted to see what the old guy could say about the old guy as he continued to perform.

.....

However, in the next half hour, Nishinomiya Hikoshi did not disappoint him.

In the face of the cold wind, this old guy insisted on starting from the origin of the Xigong family, and talked endlessly about the great achievements made by the heads of the previous generations.

How to stabilize the territory under the threat of the Kamino family and the Sakura samurai family, how to break the closed mind and obtain trade with the dragon gate.

In the initial process, in the face of a huge cultural gap, how many losses were suffered, how many detours were taken, how many times were pitted, and so on.

....

In the end, Nishinomiya Hikoshi's nose turned red.

Of course, it's not that he's too emotional, it's that he's frozen red.

Not only him, but even Xia Feng, who was wearing a thick cotton jacket and a pure wool scarf from Hengyuanxiang, couldn't stand it anymore.
