Xu Shi is a very planned person.

For example, if he said that he was going to visit Cheng Gujian, he would have to wait until he had eaten and drunk enough to go to the wholesale market for daily necessities before leaving.

The main thing is that the time is just at night, after all, it is to meet guests with gifts and make friends, and it is not appropriate to make a big show...... During the day, there was just such a big battle in the court, and at this time, if people bump into him and have a secret meeting with anyone, the impact will not be very good.

Fortunately, Miss Xiaomei had already arranged everything, and while he was working, the gifts had been quietly transported, and the arrangements were also imperceptible.

Xu Shi felt more and more that this girl had a strong ability to do things, looking at the five big and three coarse, but he didn't expect that his heart was as careful as hair......

"It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise the Sprinkle family would definitely be brothers with you."

After listening to the other party's report, he pretended to sigh regretfully.

This is very much in line with the characteristics of a dog man.

If you're good, then we might as well have some more in-depth exchanges, and if not, the topic will be on the bow......

"It's also my honor to be brothers with Engong."

Xiaomei didn't turn a corner for a while, and she only smiled heartily when she heard this, "You clean up slowly, and I'll arrange the carriage." ”

No, it's not going to end well to be brothers with me...... Xu Shi smiled self-deprecatingly, and went back to the room to squeak Xia Wuwu, who was still immersed in the aftertaste, "Get up, lady?" Walk with your husband? ”

"Well, why don't you lie down again......"

Xia Kitten muttered a complaint and sat up reluctantly.

Why is it like this every time, and the body is still soft, so you command people to work...... When Shen Qin was tested before, it was also true that bad men were really pure capitalists.

But she also knew that she was a right-hand man by her side at the moment, so the complaints were just lip service, and her body still had to move honestly.

"Chengcheng stays to look after the house, if the skinny children come back late, you can clean them up for your husband."

"Got it."

Jiang Chengcheng hugged the quilt and took two puffs, and replied with a red face, "I also have to study the position configuration with Miss Xiaomei with silver pine as a conductor, husband can go with peace of mind." ”

When Xu Shi left with Xia Wuwu, she got up unhurriedly.

It's fun to play with Xia Wuwu, but it's been a long time since I've had an exclusive time...... Or do you have to find an opportunity, wait for her to come back and discuss, next time you will be alone for a day?

After washing up and getting dressed, she ran into Xie Qingyan in the aisle as soon as she went out.

"Oh? Didn't take you with me? ”

The dog woman glanced at her with interest, and the yin and yang weirdness with a gun and a stick, "It seems that you are also a person that no one wants." ”

Don't blame her for speaking with, the key is that the sound insulation effect of this post house is too poor! The broken wooden house can't stop the sound at all, and these people don't know how to restrain themselves when they're crazy!

She just has no experience, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have the desire to do this, who is in a good mood if she doesn't want to listen to it?

Almost!

"Whoever no one wants, who knows it in their own hearts."

Jiang Chengcheng didn't give her a habit, and sneered back, "I can deceive me, don't deceive yourself." ”

In fact, she has never liked Xu Shi, the so-called fiancée, not out of a sense of crisis or anything, but because she knows that the other party has tried to be unfavorable to Xu Shi many times before.

There is one thing to say, Miss Jiang Chengcheng's loyalty to Xu Shi is rarely outstanding, and she can't get used to Xie Qingyan for this alone, and if she cooperated before, it was only academically unavoidable, in essence, she still wore colored glasses, and always felt that this guy had some bad intentions.

I didn't expect you to dare to jump your face first? Both sentences are light!

"You!"

Xie Qingyan is also a fried cat, and when he heard this, he suddenly couldn't control it, "You are a little ...... Don't be too presumptuous, you little frog! I'm also childhood sweethearts with Xu Shi, not better than you, a halfway goods?! ”

"Is that so? Then I just think you're more dish-eating. ”

This kind of painless scolding did zero harm to Jiang Chengcheng, but the cute and loving scolding words even made her want to laugh a little, "Aren't Arlene and Xu Dong also childhood sweethearts?" Why didn't you see Xu Dong guarding against her? ”

Puff –

This is the sound of a sword piercing the heart.

The dog woman felt like she was almost squirting out a mouthful of old blood, but she still retorted, "What does it have to do with me whether he loves to guard against it?" Wouldn't I be able to live without him? ”

"Well, you have a point."

Jiang Chengcheng spread his hands, "Since that's the case, then what are you anxious about?" ”

Bang –

Thumped!

After a set of serial punches, Xie Qingyan couldn't even control and took two steps back.

Fuck, you can't argue with it at all!

To tell the truth, what is her identity, no one has dared to drum with her in person for many years, and she is speechless...... Xu Shi is one, and Jiang Chengcheng is the second.

Even these words coming out of Jiang Chengcheng's mouth were even more hurtful than coming out of the mouth of Xu Shi's dog man, after all, the identity was different.

Tsk, sharp-toothed little girl!

Xie Qingyan's teeth were about to be crushed, but he was angry, and the frustration in his heart gradually overshadowed the anger.

Her expression became a little gloomy, and there was even a little grievance in her complaining muttering, "I, I will stand with him again tomorrow morning, and if I want to apologize, I have already apologized...... What else do you want me to do......"

This is true, since the release of "Twins", she has not secretly stumbled Xu Shi again, at most she can make up for two sentences, right? Which thing did not unite with him in the future?

Including the time when Xu Shi's ability was transplanted, she was really trying her best to take care of the other party...... This time she felt that she was humble enough, nominally the two of them were co-leaders, but what was not Xu Shi's final say? What she did was no different from Jiang Chengcheng's people, and she acted like his subordinates.

Do you think this is working? It seems that there is, the atmosphere of the two being alone that day is great, she has never felt so relaxed and happy with the dog man, and he has no objection to kissing him......

But it's only when she's alone, and there's basically no change other than that - this is obviously not the effect she wants, after all, she can't be alone with Xu Shi for the rest of her life, not to mention whether Xu Shi is willing or not, she may not be willing herself.

This kind of outsider feeling is very bad, the joys and sorrows between people are not connected, and all that is left for her is noise...... If it weren't for her excellent psychological quality, she was afraid that she would really cry.

"You tell me this...... What's the use? ”

Jiang Chengcheng saw it in his eyes, but he only sighed lightly, "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question." ”

“…… Well, you're right. ”

Xie Qingyan rarely didn't refute her, and smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "I don't even know the answer to this question." ”

Looking at her lonely and departing back, Jiang Chengcheng tilted his head.

Sorry, there is no empathy between a bad woman and a bad woman, and those who are favored are often fearless.

Unless they're good sisters, unfortunately they're not. （doge）

But that doesn't matter, I'm cool anyway.

Xu Shi he ...... I don't think I'm going to object to doing that, right?

Hee-hee.

……

Xu Shi's answer was, I'm sorry, I can't spare my hand.

Isn't it busy making new friends—the carriage travels through the alleys and finally stops in front of a courtyard.

"This is the mansion of the Grand Duke of the Ancient Sword."

The driver, who is also from Ginmatsu Island, parked the car in the back lane, "I'll wait for you in the back alley next to it." ”

"It doesn't look luxurious."

Xia Wuwu looked around and said a word curiously.

"Maybe people's wealth won't be revealed."

Xu Shi pinched her face, and the two entered the courtyard door hand in hand.

Anyway, I must have found the right place - the previous gift had an effect, and the other party had already sent someone to greet him at the door, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Walking through the water pavilion to a quiet room, Cheng Gujian was standing straight in front of a painting, and turned around after hearing the movement, "Messenger Xu, Mrs. Xu, welcome." ”

"I've seen the Grand Duke of the Ancient Sword."

Xu Shi symbolically arched his hand and said a few polite words, "I saw that the Grand Duke was heroic and upright during the day, and his spirit was magnificent, but I didn't expect that he still liked elegant people." ”

Indeed, although this mansion looks inconspicuous from the outside, the decoration inside is very extravagant - there are all kinds of ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and even the table legs are decorated with gems, even if you don't know how much it is worth, I think it is from the hands of everyone in the Hualan Empire.

Including the courtyard of the water pavilion that I passed through when I came, it was the same, lifelike, and it was obviously a lot of effort.

Xia Wuwu glanced at him, and really made you right...... How do you know that?

Anyway, there are no such rules in Night Sin City, regardless of the "refraction" in the past or the "snake ring" now, it is very magnificent from the inside out, otherwise she would not have such a complaint.

Xu Shi blinked, buddy had a good brother in his last life...... Not to mention the place where he lived, he thought it was a slum, but as soon as he entered the door, he wished that the floor was golden, and since then he has learned this routine......

Of course, this is a small episode, and it is not the main topic of the day.

"Where, I'm a martial artist, and I'm just a vassal and elegant."

Cheng Gujian was also polite, then showed them a seat, and pointed to the box placed in the quiet room straight to the point, "The gift of the envoy is not small, so this late night special trip to pay a visit, there must be something very important?" ”

"It's mainly for trade."

Xu Shi said bluntly, "I don't want to cause trouble to the royal family...... Instead of letting them talk endlessly, why don't you finalize it directly with Your Excellency? I think this kind of thing, your attitude is everyone's attitude. ”

"The envoy is serious."

Cheng Gujian waved his hand lightly, "The thunder, rain and dew are all imperial favors, I am just entrusted by the emperor on his deathbed to assist Her Majesty the Empress...... His Majesty is still young, and many things are still immature to deal with, and when she grows up, she will have to return them. ”

At first glance, he was very modest, but his expression did not mean this at all, but there was a taste of "young man, you have found the right person, you are very good" in it.

The Grand Duke of the Ancient Sword turned sideways without even a trace, revealing the painting behind him - it was the painting where he and the Emperor of the Empire stood side by side, just look at the same crown.

Ahh

Xu Shi secretly complained, and said that you are not a minister? Isn't this worse than listening to politics with a curtain......

The main thing is that he is familiar with this feeling, I am on the same level as you in Night Sin City, huh? That's fine.

Even his villain radar is activated uncontrollably, and this guy is also a pre-mid-stage boss nine times out of ten, right?

After all, this is very similar to the script of Ao Bai - in the early stage, he covered the sky with one hand and covered the master, and then was taken down by the developed protagonist with a sword, and captured the heart of the empress at the same time on the side of the Qing monarch......

Who made Dongfang Xiao really a girl? Still a blonde and blue-eyed white silk girl...... It's hard to keep him from thinking about this kind of plot.

Pinching hemp drops, such a cliché script, I don't know what the people in "Tianli" are responsible for designing the experimental field.

"At least for now, Her Majesty is still cultivating the way of kingship, right?"

However, there is no way to find out what he said, Xu Shi only roughly clicked on the subtext in Cheng Gujian's words, "Then you have to bother Your Excellency...... We can't just go home, can we? The Governor will scold me if he knows. ”

"This is reasonable, and it can be seen that Xu Envoy and your party have a heavy responsibility."

Cheng Gujian bowed slightly, his eyes sharpened a little, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have made that ...... during the day It's interesting to talk about your ability, is it to provoke the emotions of others? ”

"The carving insect skill can't hide your eyes."

Xu Shi didn't deny it, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Your Excellency will not be affected, my strength is only above me." ”

This is a bit of a self-humble element - to be reasonable, he is also an A+-level "upgrader" now, in the words of the Hualan Empire, he is a "Chongyue"-level "Chosen One", how can the penetrating power of "Evil Thoughts Entropy Increase" be so easily resisted?

The fact is that at that time, there were few people who were not allowed to make a move, and Cheng Gujian was one of the few who could be basically unaffected, and this alone can also show that no matter who he is, he is a strong opponent, not a powerful minister with an empty appearance, and he cannot be a powerful minister with an empty appearance.

In addition, there is another person that he can't break, and that is Dongfang Xiao himself.

But he does have some understanding of this, and when he came, he heard Pan Cheng and Xiaomei talk about it, the imperial royal family is in the same line, and the abilities of each generation of descendants are also very different, called "Holy Light".

This is an offensive and defensive ability, and the passive effect is to cancel out most of the so-called "unclean things", such as mental shock, or physical poison or something, and when the level of ability is raised, the so-called "holy light" can be substantiated, and the whole thing is a lightsaber, a light shield and something like that.

That's why I saw that the little empress was like a nobody...... In a sense, this ability is similar to Xie Qingyan's "Ability Nullification", but the difference is quite big when subdivided.

For example, if he can't influence the dog woman, it is equivalent to the other party being a stone girl, so he can't get in, and Dongfang Xiao will directly cut off most of it for you, leaving a root at most, it's not that it will definitely not work, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

This "Holy Light" is also more like a specialization of the dark system, and it can't be like Xie Qingyan, who touches whom's account...... In general, each has its own merits.

The imperial royal family has been inherited for a long time, and this is not a secret to everyone, and when I heard it, Xu Shi complained a few words.

First, he also discovered that most of the abilities of the people of the Hualan Empire have a bit of fantasy magic—this holy light, that sword formation, and that Fan Shigui's fire element ability...... This kind of ability is rare in Night Sin City, and even if it does, it is not particularly popular, our family has advanced technology, and it is not too difficult to restrain these abilities.

Just like when Xie Qingyan did the ability implantation before, he directly used any water and fire ability as an experimental subject, which would not be rare at all.

Second, it has the ability to be passed on from generation to generation? This is also extremely rare in the City of Night Sin, and everyone joked at the time, saying that even if the empress was an old woman, you should catch it, and it would be good to study it......

All in all, although they are under the same "rusty fog", there are many differences between the two city-states.

"The messenger is humble."

Cheng Gujian smiled, but there was no relaxation in his expression, but he was a little more vigilant by this topic.

Because he also knows very well that Xu Shi's ability is by no means a "small skill of carving insects", on the contrary, his ability is quite powerful.

The reason why he was able to resist this kind of spiritual impact was entirely due to an accessory on his body - the Emperor of the Empire had blessed him with "Holy Light" with a secret method, which made him fearless in the face of these tricks, and his own ability had nothing to do with this aspect.

But he didn't have much easier when he resisted Xu Shi's mental shock, and in hindsight, there were cracks on the accessories? This alone let him know that the young man with glasses in front of him was definitely not simple, and he was a smiling tiger.

Not to mention that there was no warning at all when he activated his ability, and many people didn't notice it for a while...... can instantly release such a large-scale spiritual impact, whoever is a weak chicken is stupid.

It's just that he can't say this either, isn't saying it equivalent to taking the initiative to show his cowardice?

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, whether it is Xu Shi or Cheng Gujian, they all know that the other party still has something hidden in their hands, and pretending to be confused is the best choice.

"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, the strength of your Night Sin City is in the eyes of the kings and ministers present today."

After calming down his emotions a little, Cheng Gujian spoke in a deep voice and continued to pull, "Your Majesty is also very interested in this, even if you don't come to me, it will be a matter of time before you and I build a transportation business between the two states." ”

"It's better to be faster than slower."

Xu Shi smiled, "Besides, since everyone has seen it, then I hope this process can be simpler." ”

Trade and commerce are essentially a transaction, and since they know that it is a transaction, everyone knows that there is a trick that can be used.

Anyway, Xu Shi didn't want to delay, on the one hand, there were other things waiting for him to do, and secondly, if it dragged on for too long, everyone in the Hualan Empire should wake up......

The trick he used today has a scientific name, called a blow to the head, which is essentially the same as yelling for no reason before a fight, and it can indeed scare people in a short period of time, but after a long time, think about it, are you really so terrible? Not necessarily, I'm afraid.

Because the Hualan Empire is not a soft persimmon for him to handle, he killed Fan Shigui today, but his strength is not much stronger...... Can a huge empire really have no foundation? There must be.

At least I've heard about it for a while, the Holy See has a so-called big killing weapon, and there are also top secret treasures in the royal family, combined with their main attack on the "Rusty Mist" itself, the power of this kind of object is not small, otherwise why would "Heavenly Principles" create such a test field? Is it a playhouse? Not to be underestimated.

And once someone talks about this, the situation will not be as one-sided as it was during the day, and it will be all unnecessary trouble.

That's why Xu Shi turned his head and came to Cheng Gujian for a private chat, and determined everything as quickly as possible, it would be too late to say anything, and there would be a lot more room for operation.

"What the envoy Xu said is also true, I can be regarded as an eye-opener today."

Cheng Gujian smiled faintly and pointed to the gift Xu Shi sent earlier, "So, is this your spiritual impact on me?" ”

"How can it? At best, it's a door-to-door gift for making friends. ”

Xu Shi also smiled, "I don't know what Your Excellency lacks, and I can only be so vulgar...... As for entrusting your help, there is naturally an additional price. ”

As he spoke, he gave Xia Wuwu a look to the side, and the other party understood and opened the suitcase he brought.

"The weapons and medicine samples in this are more effective than those on display during the day."

Xu Shi explained with a smile, "If Your Excellency needs it, I can guarantee that these will only exist in your hands. ”

This is the end of the pull and the cut to the point, you ask Cheng Gujian for help, or unilaterally establish this kind of private cooperative relationship with him, then of course you have to come up with something extra.

Of course, the gold and silver before were not enough, and the dignified dukes would not lack this kind of yellow and white things if they lacked anything, just like he never had to worry about money in the City of Night Sin, at most it was only used to show his attitude, and it was better to call it a stepping stone.

And Cheng Gujian's words just now can be regarded as implying that he has not been as shocked as others all along-he himself has not been affected much by his own ability, and the speed of recollection is naturally faster.

Xu Shi also expected this, and during the day, it was enough to deter seventy or eighty percent of the people, and it was unrealistic to expect it to be detailed to everyone, so he had already arranged the back hand, which could be regarded as the conditions he really gave.

Providing Cheng Gujian with better weapons alone is undoubtedly sending a signal - no matter how much the City of Night Sin and the Hualan Empire build a transportation business, the inflow of new weapons will not affect your status, because I will give you better things to improve your private armament.

Chips that are more valuable are often reserved for the more important ones.

Neither of them took the initiative to raise this matter, but Xu Shi knew very well that Cheng Gujian's power was so great, there would definitely be a private army or something, and that was also one of the foundations of his status as a powerful minister.

Anyway, don't come to a "minister is dedicated to the country and has no selfish heart", if you really want to do that, you won't even let me in the door, let people come in and say such nonsense, then it will be done and established.

And the weapons he brought are essentially aimed at this market, and the high-level "upgraders" may not need these things, when did you see Old Man Wen care about these? Even if Xia Wuwu's level has always used an alloy battle blade, there is dependence, but not much.

However, for non-"upgraders" and low-level "upgraders", the improvement brought by equipment is obvious, and these people are also the largest combat force composition of a city-state or country.

Then, based on this premise, what Xu Shi promised to him may not be to maintain his status, and it is not even good to say that he can further enhance his status.

“…… How much can you give me? ”

Cheng Gujian paused, and began to stop talking darkly, and the subconscious lip biting action also showed that he had been moved.

"It depends on how much you need."

Xu Shi crossed his hands and said with a smile, "Including the complete opening of the shipping route in the future, I can also guarantee that Your Excellency's people will have a higher priority." ”

"And what do you want?"

Cheng Gujian groaned.

"What I want is simple."

Xu Shi nodded and said, "In addition to direct trade with the royal family, I hope to obtain a permit to open trading posts, these trading posts have only one requirement, our Night Sin City operates independently, and no one else, whether it is the royal family or the Holy See, has the right to interfere." ”

"Of course, the profits will naturally be owned by you, the Grand Duke, and the specific amount will ...... Eighty-two open? ”

Cheng Gujian bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

"As for the goods we want...... Here's a list, can you take a look at it first? ”

Cheng Gujian took the list and glanced at it with some curiosity, "That's all you want?" ”

The above things are common to their Hualan Empire, and they are all natural items that contain more "divine breath", such as silver pine wood...... If you really want to say that the rare ones are some ores, but the Empire's reserves in this area are by no means small.

"More precisely, in this direction?"

Xu Shi said with a smile, "I made this list in a hurry, and there may be some changes in the future, and I can adjust it at that time, how about it?" ”

The so-called transaction is to communicate with each other, these things are not only Cheng Gujian, Xiaomei saw the same reaction at the time, but the City of Night Sin lacks these diverse, naturally containing "rusty mist" animals and plants.

The methods used by the major consortia to extract the "rusty mist" are single, either ore or seawater, and the species diversity is not as rich as that of the Hualan Empire.

The so-called ruler is short and long, and these things are of great value to Xu Shi, especially at this juncture of researching ability transplantation, they can provide a lot of unexpected research value, just look at how interested Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan are in it......

“…… Fair and reasonable. ”

Cheng Gujian thought for a moment, got up and stretched out his hand to him.

Anyway, it's worth the deal, at least for him, and everyone takes what they need.

He also knows the subtext of Xu Shi's sentence "there will be changes in the future" - such a transaction will not be a one-shot deal, for example, now Xu Shiming provides a generation of weapons on the face, and he gives him a second generation, then after the trade line is opened, he can also bring three generations, which is a new cycle.

When the time comes, he will put the second-generation weapon on the table, and with a little article, it can be said that he has worked hard to win, not only will he always be one step ahead, but he will also have one more meritorious service.

Xu Shi shook hands with him vigorously, even if the deal was reached, there was no need to worry about who broke the contract, everyone had ways and means to keep the evidence.

"I always call you Xu Messenger, it sounds a little awkward, I will be a little older than you, if you don't mind, call you Brother Xu?"

Cheng Gujian was in a good mood and took the initiative to say so.

"Of course it's no problem, Brother Cheng."

Xu Shi has no objection, isn't this a new friend?

"Would you like a drink? I have a very good aging here. ”

Cheng Gujian turned around and took three wine glasses, "Brother and sister also come a little?" ”

"I'm not a good drinker, so I'm not ashamed."

Xu Shi politely refused, "Compared to drinking, I have a question I want to ask Brother Cheng for advice." ”

"You say?"

"Can you tell me more about Poseidon?"

Today's update is a little earlier, and the main thing is to go to the next field......

Xu Shi: What happened to me as a brother (8)? What, Pan Cheng? Both of their daughters are in my hands......
