Chapter 1321: The Temptation of the Empire

The two went to the riverside room to sit down, and He Lingchuan ordered ten dishes.

Before Fan Shuang could say a word, two cold dishes went first, one of which was red and bright, and it looked pleasing.

"What is this?"

"Drunken chicken. This is made from sake lees. He Lingchuan gave him a piece first, "I brought a few cooks from Yangshan, and Zhuyin Restaurant will push new dishes, and Brother Fan will come over to help me taste it." ”

His enthusiasm is something that few people can resist. Fan Shuang ate several dishes in a daze, and then exclaimed:

"It's really delicious!"

He Lingchuan turned around and asked the little maid to look at the tea, and said in the next second: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, when will a hundred good horses be on the road?" I can't see it. ”

Fan Shuang quipped: "Is it good to run horses on the island?" ”

The Akaya horse that He Lingchuan purchased from Yaguo was not a horse for plowing land and transportation, but a mount suitable for battlefield killing. An archipelago owner, what do you do with so many horses?

He Lingchuan smiled: "On my island, there are also valleys and grasslands. ”

This trench rushed to his face, causing Fan Shuang to lean back: "Joking, I'm just joking." Today is to send good news to Brother He: my king has approved the delivery of 100 Chigu horses within three days, between the ages of three and ten, all of them are strong and strong, with uniform coats, and no old age, weakness or disability. ”

He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "Your country is really generous! ”

The Akatani horse is fully mature at the age of five, with well-developed organs, well-developed muscles, and is just past its peak at the age of ten, but it can serve as a war horse until at least thirteen or fourteen years old. This kind of precious war preparation resources, the country has been strictly controlling the export, He Lingchuan originally thought that it would be good to be able to buy it, some old horses and sick horses also recognized, who knew that the country actually took out the strongest good horses.

But when he was overjoyed, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Why did Yakoku suddenly show favor to him?

Fan Shuang's implication is that the release of these 100 young horses is to comply with the king's edict.

"A few days ago, I was summoned by the king, and I also mentioned Brother He's past deeds. My king greatly appreciates and praises you for your upright conduct, and you can be more assured of your cooperation with Yangshan. ”

Fan Shuang also left a little caution in what he said, as if he took the initiative to mention it when he was facing the saint, and He Lingchuan was appreciated by the king.

He Lingchuan was moved, and immediately congratulated him: "Congratulations to Brother Fan for meeting Jun Yan, and it will be Pengcheng high in the future." ”

I don't know how many petty officials in the kingdom there are, and there are very few of them who can meet the king. Fan Shuang said modestly: "It's just that I was summoned and asked a few questions." ”

But he couldn't hide his joy.

He Lingchuan grasped the key words in Fan Shuang's words. King Yao listened to He Lingchuan's past deeds, and praised him for his integrity?

How much can Fan Shuang know about He Lingchuan's deeds? It's nothing more than the Spirit Void City and the elixir case.

The king will not praise a foreign businessman for no reason, the so-called "uprightness" refers to He Lingchuan's attitude of investigating the elixir case to the end and not being afraid of power?

Well, the resistance He Lingchuan encountered in investigating the elixir case was first of all Cen Boqing, the son-in-law of Lingxu Dasi Nong. However, although Cen Boqing regarded all the officials of Chiyan as rare enough, the king of Yao, who was thousands of miles away, should not notice him.

If you want to talk about the "power" in the eyes of the king, Cen Boqing is probably not enough.

So, is it Qingyang?

It just so happens that Qingyang is now serving as the chief eunuch in the country.

In the Panlong World, He Lingchuan had heard of how the prison and envoys sent by Bega were intimidating to the vassal states. The monarch of Xiluo was pointed at his nose by Wang Jianguo, and scolded in public until he was completely skinless, and he never received a trace of respect.

If this is the tradition and habit that Bega has always had, King Yao may not be too comfortable when facing the Qingyang Prison Kingdom.

So, King Yao suddenly summoned Fan Shuang at this time and asked He Lingchuan about the past of tracking down the elixir case, what is the deep meaning?

He Lingchuan felt that there was an article to be done here.

So he took a bite of roe deer meat, and the topic changed: "The past of Lingxu City is like a world away." I don't know where Qingyang National Teacher is now. After I left Lingxu City, I only knew that she had been dismissed from her position as a national teacher. ”

Fan Shuang coughed lightly: "She is no longer a national teacher, but a supervisor of my country." ”

"Prison Country?" He Lingchuan looked surprised, and his voice was raised three times, "She is a prisoner in your country?!" ”

The dementor mirror in his arms couldn't stand it anymore: "Master, your acting skills are really getting more and more exaggerated." ”

Fan Shuang sneered: "Yes, yes." ”

"What's going on?" He Lingchuan was incredulous at first, then reacted, and let out a long sigh, "Qingyang Kingdom and the National Prison are really good means, they are defeated and do not die, but they have found a good position thousands of miles away." ”

"In the past, I could feel that the relationship between her and Emperor Bega was really deep." He looked at Fan Shuang's gaze with sympathy, "In the past, did Bega send a prison country here?" ”

This question made Fan Shuang very uncomfortable, and she had to answer, and the chopsticks stretched out in the air: "Never before." This is...... First time. ”

As a courtier of the country, he has a pimple in his heart about this matter.

"That's a ...... Alas! He Lingchuan shook his head and sighed at the end, "Brother Fan reminded me not to step into the realm of the Yao Kingdom in the future. ”

"In this case, Brother He is worried about his personal safety in our country?"

"Shouldn't it?" He Lingchuan squinted at him, "When I was investigating the elixir case, I offended Qingyang and was almost blown up in the post house by the people she sent. ”

"That's Lingxu City, she can commit murder with impunity! Nowβ€”" he took a sip of wine, his heart palpitating, "I'd better not be right under her nose." ”

"Brother He, you are in charge of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and intervened in the war of the Seven Kingdoms against Bixia. Whether you want to or not, you have entered the vision of Qingyang Prison Country. Fan Shuang hurriedly spoke, shattering his plan to hide in the turtle shell, "Brother Mo said bluntly, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wants to develop in the Shining Gold Plain, and you can't bypass our country and Qingyang Prison Country." ”

"This ......" He Lingchuan was embarrassed.

Fan Shuang couldn't help but provoke him: "Brother He, the Lingxu City back then was the Longtan Tiger's Den, and you didn't change your face; Now in the Shining Gold Plain, why do you have concerns? ”

"I was ......still young at the time," He Lingchuan coughed, "At that time, I still had Prince Chiyan as my backing, and I was not alone in Longtan." ”

When Fan Shuang heard the word "Longtan", she always felt that it meant something:

Isn't the Demon Emperor of Bega a dragon?

Fan Shuang said casually: "In Lingxu City, is there still a master behind Brother He to protect him, otherwise how can he get out safely in the end?" ”

King Yao said that there must be other nobles behind He Lingchuan to help.

To be able to save He Lingchuan's life from the big whirlpool in Lingxu City and under Qingyang's nose, how much energy does the so-called "nobleman" have?

"Huh?" He Lingchuan hurriedly waved his hand and denied Sanlian in one breath, "No, no, no, where did Brother Fan's words come from?" ”

However, the more he denied it, the more Fan Shuang believed that there was something inside.

"I'm still thinking about how it's been two years. But if Brother He feels embarrassed, don't say it. ”

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really don't have any inside information." Only then did He Lingchuan say, "Prince Chiyan is trying his best to protect me, and the emperor is so sage, not to mention that the Qingyang National Master made a big mistake, and he was accidentally held down by the opponent for seven inches, and he couldn't turn over again." You say, how many of these things can be controlled by a little person like me? At that time, the wind was surging, and a big wave came, and my little boat capsized. ”

Fan Shuang let out a long sigh: "Brother He said this, I understand!" ”

"I was accidentally held down by my opponent for seven inches"? That's Qingyang National Teacher!

What kind of opponent is qualified to press the seven inches of this old poisonous snake and still win? If Fan Shuang went on it by himself, I am afraid that before he touched the seven inches of others, he was first sealed by poisonous blood.

It should be the Frost Leaf National Teacher! Except for Qingyang's old opponent, who has so much energy?

He Xiao compares himself to a small boat, so who is the big wave? It's not just Qingyang, otherwise he would have sunk a long time ago.

When he heard the news, he was very happy.

He Lingchuan looked at him and smiled, and he also knew that he was secretly guessing the Frost Leaf National Masterβ€”he had hinted so obviously.

That's right, Fan Shuang has studied in Lingxu City for several years, and he is not a novice in politics, the more He Lingchuan denies it, the more he will make up for it on his own.

He Ling guided him to associate in the direction of the frost leaf, of course.

When the elixir case was fermenting in Lingxu City, the two great masters of Qingyang and Frost Leaf attacked and defended each other. The frequent confrontation with Frost Leaf greatly distracted Qingyang's attention, so that she didn't have much mind to pay attention to He Lingchuan.

After all, her real opponent is Shuangye, not a small character surnamed He.

Besides, after Fu Shanyue came to the Yangshan Islands, he confessed to He Lingchuan that the reason why the elixir case progressed rapidly in Lingxu City back then was that the Chiyan Kingdom did have the support of the Frost Leaf National Master.

It's just that he didn't mention it to He Lingchuan at that time.

So He Lingchuan took this opportunity to forcibly return the credit to the Frost Leaf National Teacher.

The best thing is that not only did he not mention the name of Frost Leaf, but he even denied that he had the help of nobles in the first place, but Fan Shuang had already decided that there was a big tree behind him that was the Frost Leaf National Master, and would bring this message back to King Yao.

He Lingchuan then mentioned that several large chambers of commerce in Baijia were all working closely with Yangshan, and by drinking and eating food, he couldn't hide his smugness...... At least 30% of the traffic of the Yangshan Islands comes from Bega. ”

This is an exaggeration. But it doesn't matter, how many of them do business and don't brag?

Fan Shuang didn't mind, because He Lingchuan revealed another important message: until now, he had received special care from Lingxu City.

Otherwise, why did a small island owner in a remote place get so many big orders and so many passenger flows from Bega? With so many barren islands in the world, why can only the Yangshan Islands thrive in just a few years?

In other words, so far, He Lingchuan and Frost Leaf National Master are still in contact.

The Frost Leaf National Master is still a noble person standing behind He Lingchuan.
