Chapter 192: Greed
Wang Ruiyang looked at the majestic palace in front of him, looked at the strict guards, took a deep breath, and took the lead towards the palace.
Guan Zhengqing followed behind Wang Ruiyang and walked towards the majestic palace in a nervous mood.
Here, it is the imperial palace of the country of Canglan, and this is the first time that an envoy from the country of Qixia has come to the country of Canglan.
Looking at the palace that was more than twice as magnificent and majestic as the palace of the country of Qixia, Guan Zhengqing was full of emotion for a while: the world is dazzlingly changing, who would have thought that the enemy who was eager to get rid of it in the past would also have a day to seek cooperation.
And Guan Zhengqing thinks: Here in the country of Canglan, I am also looking forward to this cooperation. Because Wang Ruiyang contacted the left minister of the country of Canglan in the morning, he was summoned by the emperor of the country of Canglan in the afternoon.
This efficiency, this speed, is enough to explain everything!
Under the leadership of the palace guards, the two passed by the two city gates, passed through the three major halls, and finally saw the magnificent main hall of the palace - Jinluan Palace.
Jinluan Hall is built on the white marble pedestal of ten zhang high, there are 365 stone steps in front of the main hall, there is a piece of one zhang, more than 30 zhang long cloud dragon relief in the center, majestic and magnificent. A complete piece of white marble was used for the relief.
There is a strong power on the relief, this relief is by no means simple, but I am afraid that there is no mystery.
Climbing the steps, Guan Zhengqing stepped on the stone steps step by step, the stone steps are more than 30 long, more than 10 zhang high, quite steep. Standing at the foot of the stone steps and looking up at the Jinluan Palace, it is even more magnificent and solemn.
On both sides of the stone steps are black-armored guards, and the guards are tight.
When I came to the front of the hall, I saw the aura rolling around, like a fairyland. The aura here is not only rich, but also very active. It's a pity that Guan Zhengqing doesn't have the heart to practice now, and this is not a place to practice.
The guards led the two to arrive, and they took a roll call outside the hall: "Wang Ruiyang, the shopkeeper of Lingwei Commercial Bank, and Guan Zhengqing, the secretary of the country of Qixia, are here." ”
Zuo Xiang took the lead in coming out to greet him and looked at Guan Zhengqing.
Unlike the country of Qixia, the country of Canglan is a big country, and many official positions in the court are divided into two, with left and right. And here in the country of the waves, the right is respected.
It's just that Wang Ruiyang and Zuo Xiang are the most familiar, but they introduced Guan Zhengqing to Zuo Xiang.
Zuo Xiang looked middle-aged, with a peaceful smile, and after seeing Guan Zhengqing, he immediately introduced himself: "A certain Huang Shaoxian, we already know everything about what happened in the West, please inside." The Great has arrived. ”
The Emperor arrived early, which is very important. Guan Zhengqing tidied up his clothes very seriously, came to the door of the main hall, and before he stepped into the ceremony, he sang: "Foreign ministers, the country of the sunset in the west, and the country of Qixia, Guan Zhengqing will meet His Majesty the great powers in the east." ”
As soon as Guan Zhengqing opened his mouth, the Emperor of the Land of Canglan suddenly smiled: "Come in." Bestow the seat. ”
Immediately, a squire moved a chair and placed it next to the left phase, side by side with the left phase.
Guan Zhengqing bowed again before slowly sitting down. Then the left minister sat down. As for Wang Ruiyang, he could only stand at the end of the hall. Although Wang Ruiyang is good, in terms of identity, he is not an official after all.
Guan Zhengqing was the first to speak, asking the two countries to unite and jointly curb the 'ambitions' of the Jinyang Kingdom. In the end, Guan Zhengqing said even more terrifyingly:
"Now under the infiltration of the country of Jinyang, the country of Danyang has no power to fight back. And once the country of Danyang is annexed, the country of Qixia is afraid that it will not last long.
Once the country of Jinyang is defeated, there will be a superpower in the west of the Fertile Land Continent with a land area of one and a half times the size of your country, and it will be a truly centralized country.
At that time, once the country of Jinyang and the country of Langya in the east of your country joined forces again...... The consequences are unimaginable!"
The Emperor of the Land of Canglan had a solemn face, and he had to admit that what Guan Zhengqing said was completely devoid of any moisture! However, the Emperor also had his own hesitations and considerations.
Now the country of Canglan is also very difficult, otherwise how can you let the country of Jinyang grow and not attack the country of Danyang, which is already a mess.
Today's Danyang Country is a mess, and with the military strength of Canglan Country, it is completely possible to completely occupy Danyang Country within a month. However, the country of vicissitudes is now quite too busy to take care of itself.
The attack of the country of Langya in the east was very fierce, and in the country of Shaoze, which had been dismembered, there were many talented military strategists who took the opportunity to attack.
As the saying goes, heroes are born in troubled times, and after the country of Shaoze was dismembered, the reason why it was not completely occupied by various countries is that many talents have emerged in the country of Shaoze. Although they do not admit defeat to each other, they all have a common goal - to reunite the country of Shaoze.
And if you want to unify, you need to cut off the claws of the surrounding countries one by one. Therefore, several separatist regimes in the country of Shaoze took the opportunity to launch an attack on the country of Canglan and the country of Taihua.
The country of Shaoze has been at war all year round, and its soldiers' combat ability is a mess.
And now the only seaport in the country of Canglan and the largest window to the outside world, Qianlong Port, has also been occupied by the country of Langya. This directly cut off the external passage of the country of Canglan.
In other words, the current country of Canglan is quite a bit of the predicament of the country of Qixia.
Therefore, the country of Canglan wants to support the country of Qixia, but it really can't show much strength.
Huang Shaoxian, the left minister, was very clever, and he directly explained to Guan Zhengqing: "You make sense, but for the time being, our focus is still in the east. And if we send troops to the West, it will be a two-front war, even we can't afford it, the risk is too great!"
Guan Zhengqing thought for a moment, and probably understood the situation in the country of Canglan, but he also had a way: "You don't need your country to send troops, you only need your country to provide some pills and provide some Yuan Infant stage masters, as long as we can help us stabilize the situation in the country of Qixia, we can drag the country of Jinyang." ”
Huang Shaoxian pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked: "I heard Wang Ruiyang say that your country can already produce special dark iron for alchemy?
"This ......" Guan Zhengqing was stunned, "This special Xuantie for alchemy is the technique of the Zhang family, and Zhang Hao, the young master of the Zhang family, is also a registered disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, and the master is the master of the Mingxu Dao." This one...... I really can't say yes. ”
"Hey...... We're in trouble, too. Now our country has encountered unprecedented challenges, and there is an urgent need for a large number of special dark iron for alchemy.
But as you know, the black iron is too heavy, the transportation is inconvenient, and the trade route is cut off by the country of Jinyang, so we can't do it even if we want to buy it on a large scale.
Guan people, we are really willing to help your country, but we also have to take into account the situation at home. Guan Daren, trading technology is the only reasonable choice today!"
Guan Zhengqing was stunned, he didn't expect this country to be so greedy.
At this time, the Emperor of the Land of Canglan finally spoke: "Guan Zhengqing, what Zuo Xiang said is what I want to say." That's all for today. What is there, we will talk about it tomorrow.
Huang Shaoxian, you first arrange for Guan Zhengqing to stay. ”
