Now that the Yamato Kingdom wants to negotiate with Qin Nan, if Qin Nan can increase his bargaining chips, then it will inevitably make him more active in the negotiations, and it will be more conducive to asking the empire for things.

Qin Nan said, and couldn't help but start muttering to himself, "Opportunity is of course important, but what is missing now is an opportunity, a bargaining opportunity, but where to find it?" ”

If you increase your bargaining chips, this will definitely be a good thing, but the problem is that what is missing now is this bargaining opportunity, and it is difficult to have such an opportunity from the perspective of shape shì for the time being, which is a small pity.

But this is not afraid, Qin Nan feels that it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't have this bargaining opportunity, he can negotiate with the people from the empire.

After that, the hall of the Xiao family dispersed, and everyone went back to their rooms and did their own things.

In the next two days, all of them were spent in peace, and Xiao Yun and the others had almost forgotten what Qin Nan said, that is, the incident where Qin Nan said that the empire would definitely send people to Refining City within three days.

However, even if the empire really didn't send anyone down within three days, then they wouldn't be surprised, after all, these are two different things, and they can't fight with eight poles. And the reason why they think so is because they don't know what kind of process Qin Nan went through when he went to the water capital.

After Qin Nan came back from Shuidu that time, he also looked sullen, and everyone probably just thought that Qin Nan had encountered something that made him very unhappy.

But on the third day after two days, a shocking piece of news came. The first to get this news was the acting city lord Lan Qiu, since Qin Nan took control of the refining weapon city, Qin Nan is a veritable city lord, and the acting city lord is still Lan Qiu, responsible for contacting the empire.

Therefore, when news came down from the empire, the first person to know about it must be Lanqiu. Lanqiu first reported the news to Qin Nan, who smiled slightly and didn't say much.

After hearing the news, the others immediately fell to the ground with admiration for Qin Nan, Qin Nan said that the empire would send people to Refining Weapon City within three days, but they didn't expect it to really come.

And according to the news that Lanqiu got, the character who came down this time was not simple, but he was the protector of Daewoo Kingdom, one of the three princes, with a high and powerful position, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.

Because this time the matter was urgent, Daewoo first sent a messenger to inform him, and the Protector then set off. The messenger sent the news to Refining City in the morning, and in the afternoon, the Protector came to Refining City, so to speak, one of the front feet just left, and the other came with the back feet.

Lanqiu led people to greet the Protector at the gate of the city, and the Protector came from afar, and he was in the dust. He brought with him very few men, except for a few necessary guards and subordinates, there were no others, and there were only five men in the group, and a carriage.

After that, Lanqiu introduced the Protector into the City Lord's Mansion, where Qin Nan was already waiting. Qin Nan did not go to the city gate with Lanqiu to greet the Protector, but he was waiting for the Protector in the City Lord's Mansion, which was considered to be very face-saving for the Protector.

If it wasn't for the Protector to come this time, if someone else changed, Qin Nan would have to drag him for at least two or three days, refusing to meet with the other party with all kinds of understanding, who told Daewoo Guo to look down on him so much?

And the person who came to visit this time was the Protector of the Kingdom, Qin Nan had a good impression of this person, anyway, the Protector of the Nation is not the kind of person who is in the same stream, he is decent, serious and straightforward, Qin Nan admires this kind of person.

Therefore, when he heard that the Protector had come, Qin Nan went to the City Lord's Mansion first, and waited for the Protector to come.

In the afternoon, at dusk, Lanqiu respectfully introduced the Protector into the City Lord's Mansion and met with Qin Nan.

The Protector entered the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and from a distance, Qin Nan met the eyes of the Protector.

With a slight smile, the Protector entered the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Hehehe, Mr. Qin Nan, it's really not easy to see you." ”

Qin Nan waited for the Protector to take his seat, and said: "Where is it, the Protector has come from afar, and the boat and car are tired, so it is better to rest in the City Lord's Mansion today, and if you have something, you can talk about it tomorrow." Qin Nan said a polite word.

The protector waved his hand and said: "No need, the old man came from the water capital this time, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment on the road, so the old man should explain his words clearly to Mr. Qin Nan now, I hope to live up to the holy grace." ”

Qin Nan smiled and said, "It's okay, the way Lord Protector does things is really so direct. ”

The Protector of the Kingdom groaned, his face was a little cloudy, and after a while, he said: "The old man came to the Refining City once as a private person ten years ago, and he didn't expect to come again this time, but it would be more than ten years in the blink of an eye. ”

The Protector sighed slightly, and said, "The appearance of Refining City today is very different from that of more than ten years ago. ”

The words of the protector seem to be very meaningful. Just now he followed Lanqiu all the way in, and along the way, he observed the various changes in the Refining City, in short, it was harmonious and quiet.

In addition, there is another very important point, and that is strength. In terms of economic strength alone, the refining city is definitely not comparable to any city in the Daewoo Empire, and the prosperity of Cheng Dù is comparable to the water capital.

In particular, as one of the territories of the Daewoo Kingdom, the Refining Weapon City can use a currency independently, which is extremely rare for it to be almost out of the institutional system of the Daewoo Kingdom.

It can be said that the current Refining City is less evil and darker than before, and more harmonious and bright. Of course, this qiē change is closely related to one person, and this person is Qin Nan.

It seems that the Lord Protector originally wanted to praise him, but in the end he gave up because he was not a person who was good at complimenting others. And this time he came to Qin Nan, not just for this one thing.

The sight that the Protector Gong saw along the way into the Refining City could only illustrate one problem, that is, Qin Nan's ability was definitely not small, otherwise it would be impossible to do these things.

This strengthened the idea of the protector of the country, he valued Qin Nan, and his vision was absolutely right.

I saw the Protector cough lightly and said, "Mr. Qin Nan is an understanding person, this time the old man came down from the water to find you, presumably you should already know what it is for?"

At this time, there were only two people in the Lan family hall, and Qin Nan and the Protector met alone. As for the guards and subordinates brought by the Lord Protector, they all stood guard at the door.

Even Lanqiu was just guarding the door, not daring to step in.
