Fengbao loves Lapland.

Lapland stayed in the yard, Feng Bao lay in the kennel, and whenever Lapland left, he would follow behind his ass and shake the big yiba with Lapland.

Perhaps, this is called the gathering of likes.

.....

The 10,000 gold military expenses that Xia Feng gave out before seemed to have worked well, and it has been more than two weeks, and he has not been disturbed by the people of the Xigong family again.

But he knew in his heart that the 10,000 gold was obviously not a one-time buyout, and according to his estimates, the balance should be insufficient.

Sure enough, his hunch was right.

A few days later, Nishinomiya Hikoshi came again.

.....

On this day, the sun appeared in the sky for the first time in a long time, and the entire cherry blossom forest was bathed in sunlight.

Hearing that the Black Steel Brothers, who were in charge of guarding the periphery, told him who was coming, Xia Feng had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

A moment later, Nishinomiya Hikoshi walked briskly.

As soon as he walked into the yard, this guy directly bent down and gave his hand, which can be said to be full of courtesy, but in Xia Feng's eyes, this action was automatically filtered into a posture of reaching out for money.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, I'm ........ again"

Xia Feng raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and then said directly.

"Tell me, how much will it take this time."

"Ah......h

"Mingren don't say secret words, give them a number."

Xigong Yanshi was a little embarrassed, but now was not the time to be polite, seeing that Xia Feng was so straightforward, there was no need for him to be nervous.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, in fact, I didn't come to ask for money this time, but since you mentioned it, it is naturally as much as possible, in order for the family to establish an advantage on the front line as soon as possible, then please ask Your Excellency to help another 10,000 gold."

"Damn."

Xia Feng frowned.

"It turns out that you didn't come to ask for money this time, so I'll talk about the 10,000 gold later."

"This ...... It's okay to start with that. ”

"No, let's talk about what you're doing this time."

"Uh.... All right. ”

Then, Nishinomiya Yanshi stood up straight, took out a letter from his coat, and handed it to Xia Feng.

"Your Excellency, this is a letter written to you by the Ling family master himself."

"Letter? What is written? ”

"I don't know this, how dare I figure out the letter written to you by the head of the family, but the head of the Ling family has given me a task."

Xia Feng took the letter and looked at the clover pattern on the cover suspiciously, as far as he knew, this was the family totem of the Nishinomiya family, just like the cherry blossom pattern of the Sakura Takeshi family.

"What task has your head given you?"

Nishinomiya Yanshi bowed slightly.

"Your Excellency, this time the Ling family sternly instructed me to invite Your Excellency to the mansion of this family to discuss the world's affairs."

Hearing this, Xia Feng didn't even bother to read the letter.

"What? Invite me to your hometown? ”

"Exactly."

"I'm not going to go on this cold day."

Seeing that Xia Feng refused so decisively, Xigong Yanshi panicked a little.

"Your Excellency, it is a matter of life and death for the entire Xichuan, please be sure to appreciate the light, the Ling family master sincerely invites you to go."

Xia Feng directly threw the letter on the wooden table under the pergola, and cocked Erlang's legs.

"What can your head of the family come to me directly, ask someone to come to the door, how can this make sense, just because he is the boss of Xichuan?"

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, you have misunderstood the Ling family master."

"Then you let him come, I'll invite him to eat sandworms."

Nishinomiya Yanshi hurriedly explained.

"Your Excellency, before leaving, the head of the Ling family specially asked me to convey to you, he said that if it was in normal times, he would definitely come to visit Your Excellency, but now that the world is pressing, he can't get out."

"Oh?"

"Your Excellency, the head of the Ling family did say so, and this time, the head of the Ling family set up a family banquet, and invited not only you, but also many bigwigs that the family relied on."

Hearing this, Xia Feng suddenly pricked up his ears.

"Big guy? Who are they? ”

Xigong Yanshi did not hide it, and replied directly and truthfully.

"There are the directors of the major commercial houses that cooperate with the Dongguo and my Nishinomiya family, as well as the big foreign business ....... such as Longmen"

"All businessmen? Anyone else? “

"And ....... An adult from the mainland of the country. ”

"Who, say the name."

For some reason, Nishinomiya Yanshi's voice trembled slightly, as if the person he mentioned had a very high status, so lofty that he had to be careful to mention it.

"This lord is...... Governor of North China of Yanguo, Lord Lin Hong. ”

Xia Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Governor of North China of the Yan Kingdom, Lin Hong?"

"Yes....."

.....

Lin Hong, this name is very unfamiliar to Xia Feng, but the surname Lin is very common in the Yan Country, and it belongs to a standard Yan Country name.

But regarding the title of [Governor of North China of the Yan Kingdom], he can guess some clues.

He didn't understand the political system of Yanguo, but he could still find a similar existence in the position of governor, this person was the governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu.

Longmen is a special zone city of the Yan Kingdom, and it is also a mobile city-state with advanced source stone technology, and Longmen enjoys a high degree of autonomy from the Yan State, and Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen, is the ruler of Longmen.

Wei Yanwu is the highest-level chief executive of the entire Longmen, to put it bluntly, no matter what Wei Yanwu's character is, Longmen's prosperity today depends on the wrists of this old guy.

.....

It can be seen that the title of governor is an extremely high position in the political system of the Yan State, not only has political power, but also holds military power.

If you want to describe it, it is equivalent to a high-level version of a high-ranking official who integrates military and government.

Unlike Victoria, which faces north and south, the land of the Yan Kingdom is very vast, almost more than 20 times that of Victoria, and of course, most of the land is currently in a barren state.

But even so, the vastness of the Yan Kingdom cannot be controlled by one person.

For example, a row of seats in a classroom should have a group leader, a class should have a class leader, a school should have a principal, and a city should have a director of education.

When the base is large enough to a certain extent, those in power must give their power to those they trust, otherwise, it will be completely chaotic.

Therefore, according to the analysis of the situation in Yanguo, Xia Feng came up with a guess that would not be far from ten.

Lin Hong, the governor of North China, should be regarded as a "prince of one side" who holds a lot of power.

.....

In the courtyard, Xia Feng thought quickly and quietly.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked Xigong Yanshi.

"Why did the dispute in the eastern kingdom provoke the Yan country to intervene? Was it your Ling family master's idea, or was it ...... What is that North China Governor uninvited? ”

Nishinomiya Yanshi was asked.

"This kind of thing, I, a retainer who is preparing for war, don't know about it, Your Excellency, if you're curious, find out for yourself."

Xia Feng stared at Nishinomiya Yanshi's eyes tightly.

"You really don't know?"

"This ..... I don't know how to answer you about this kind of thing, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, I'm afraid you'll be wrong, hey......"

Subsequently, Xigong Yanshi explained some things in the clouds.

What is broken, lying on the salary to taste the guts, the tension of the war, the worst possible and other things that people can't understand.

In the end, Xigong Yanshi directly held back a four-character famous saying, "Everyone who understands understands."

....

Obviously, Xigong Yanshi is not a riddler, this time he really "understands everything he understands, and he doesn't understand anything he doesn't understand", and the things involved and involved in this are not at all understandable to ordinary people.

It can be seen that this dispute in the east does not seem to be as simple as it seems.

However, Xia Feng is a person who is accustomed to seeing the essence through complexity, and he has already roughly heard what the purpose of this so-called family banquet set up by Xigong Ling is.

Quite simply, this is exactly what Vina did when civil strife broke out in Victoria.

.....

When oneself is at a disadvantage, by sacrificing one's own interests in exchange for external assistance, to put it bluntly, is to cut meat for food.

As long as you don't die, the meat will still grow, but if you die, there will be nothing.

Not to mention meat, there will not even be bone residue left.
