Vientiane Palace.
Ling Shanyue was reviewing the memorial and asked, "How is the Li family doing? Is there any news?"
The old eunuch on the side said: "Return to Your Majesty, there is no movement at the moment."
"Really!"
Ling Shanyue was slightly surprised, "Even the Duke of Qing didn't respond? That's really rare."
The old eunuch said: "It is human nature that the son is more important after all. What's more, the King of Zhenbei himself has been caught, and he is no different from others."
Ling Shanyue raised his head slightly, with a flash of regret in his eyes, "It's a pity, but there is nothing we can do. This world belongs to young people after all. Duan Tianlong wants to pave the way for future generations, and I also want to pave the way for future generations."
"Your Majesty has mercy!"
The old eunuch complimented.
Ling Shanyue paused and asked, "Has Lin Qingfeng taken any action these days?"
The old eunuch said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lin Qingfeng is still the same as before. He has visited all over the country and has gone everywhere, but he has not visited any officials."
"On the contrary, the Second Prince of Li Dynasty travels very frequently, and he even met His Highness the Third Prince yesterday."
A flash of surprise flashed in Ling Shanyue's eyes, and he muttered, "What kind of medicine is this Lin Qingfeng selling in the gourd?"
It stands to reason that the other party is more anxious, but...
That’s it!
He paused and said: "Then let's meet him! I also want to see what is so remarkable about this so-called greatest talent in the world."
"yes!"
The old eunuch accepted the order and immediately retreated.
Lin Bai never dreamed that the King of Vientiane was going to summon him. To be precise, he had no intention of resolving this problem through negotiation because the possibility was too slim.
After Zhu Kun came, he had no interest in fighting. It was just a waste of time.
He stayed in Yongchang before to see if there could be some changes in Duan Zhenglong's matter. Now that he has not left, he is waiting for Yan Gang to find out the situation. As for discussing business, he would have almost forgotten it unless King Wanxiang summoned him.
But since he has been summoned, it cannot be wasted.
Zhuiyue said: "Uncle, the king of Wanxiang suddenly summoned me, will there be a turn for the better?"
There was hope in her eyes.
After all, this matter concerns the future of the entire southwest, so it’s no wonder she is like this.
Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I'm probably just curious because I saw no movement from my uncle."
Zhuiyue said: "That's not necessarily the case. The temptation of cement and chemical fertilizers is huge, and it's impossible for King Wanxiang not to be interested."
This is true. The importance of cement and fertilizers is self-evident. Any country that has the opportunity to obtain them would not want to let it go.
Lin Bai actually just said it casually at the beginning, throwing out a big bait to whet the other party's appetite, and then talk slowly.
But he didn't expect that Lao Zhu would send someone.
If you do this, you will become very passive.
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "Perhaps he is not only interested in cement and fertilizer, but also may be using my uncle to raise prices."
this!
Chai Yue was startled for a moment.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "No matter what, let's meet first and then talk!"
The talented man didn't waste any time. According to the agreed time, under the leadership of several eunuchs, he led Zhuiyue and Ganfan Wang into the palace.
The appointment location is the Royal Garden.
At this moment, Ling Shanyue was standing in the pavilion of the imperial garden, feeding the fish swimming in the pond. When he saw Lin Bai coming, he turned slightly and looked over with a smile, which was quite kind.
Lin Bai was slightly surprised. Meetings between countries like this were usually formal occasions, but now...
Is it because there are too many people and it’s difficult to ask for a price? Or are you doing it for Zhu Kun?
That’s it!
Lin Bai was too lazy to think about this, so he walked forward and bowed slightly, "The foreign minister has met King Wanxiang."
"Foreign minister?"
Ling Shanyue's eyes were a little playful, and he smiled and said: "I have heard about the most talented man in the world for a long time, and today I am lucky enough to finally meet him."
Are you so polite?
Lin Bai said: "King Wanxiang praised him. He is the most talented person in the world. To put it bluntly, he is just a scholar. King Wanxiang is the real hero."
It’s disgusting! It's not shabby to talk about each other's business.
Ling Shanyue smiled in surprise, "Lin Qingfeng, you did not hesitate to take the risk to enter the Wanxiang Kingdom, but now you have arrived in Yongchang, but you have done nothing. What is your intention?"
Lin Bai pretended to be puzzled, "What do you mean by King Wanxiang's words? I have already submitted my credentials and am just waiting for a meeting. What else should I do?"
"Lin is actually a businessman, and businessmen are most afraid of second-rate dealers."
Ling Shanyue was startled for a moment, then laughed, "What a businessman, but what kind of business does the Southwest King want to discuss with me?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Businessmen naturally want to expand their business and open up trade between the two places. This has great benefits for both places and the people. It is a win-win choice."
"Lin Qingfeng, we might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. You don't have enough chips."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "That's right! Why not try another way?"
"..."
"What did you say? King Wanxiang summoned Lin Qingfeng?"
At the same time, both Zhu Kun and Han Wenqing had received the news, and their faces couldn't help but become ugly.
In the past few days, they have been making friends everywhere, and it can be said that they have broken their legs. The reply they received was still waiting, saying that His Majesty is busy with things recently.
The king of a country! It's normal to put on airs, not to mention that they had met the third prince yesterday, the most popular prince in Wanxiang Kingdom. The two parties were very harmonious, and Lin Qingfeng had not met anyone, so the two of them were very confident.
However, today, the King of Vientiane actually summoned Lin Qingfeng first, and it was said that he summoned him in private, which undoubtedly made the two of them very flustered.
Han Wenqing worried: "After all, the temptation of cement and fertilizer is too great."
Zhu Kun shook his head and said: "No, the conditions we gave are far better than Lin Qingfeng, and Lin Qingfeng is located in the southwest, they will not be unaware of Lin Qingfeng's threat."
Han Wenqing said: "Having said that, it is difficult to impress the King of Vientiane with the conditions we gave. They are not lacking."
"As for the threat, that is for the future. What's more, after Duan Zhenglong's incident, the direction of Wanxiang Kingdom and Dali has not yet been determined. If the relationship between the two countries deteriorates, then..."
Both of them were obviously a little anxious.
Han Wenqing said again: "Your Highness, have you ever asked His Majesty for instructions on the matter that Han mentioned to you last time? Only that can secure victory over Lin Qingfeng."
Zhu Kun said: "Of course, it's just a matter of great importance, and my father hasn't replied yet."
While the two were talking, a Feilong Guard suddenly walked in and said, "Your Highness, there is news in Kyoto."
As he spoke, he handed over a secret letter.
Zhu Kun quickly opened it and took a look. The next moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he even couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Hahaha! My father is wise, God helps this prince, Lin Qingfeng is dead now, I see how he can turn around, hahaha!!"
Han Wenqing looked at Zhu Kun with a puzzled expression.
Zhu Kun did not explain, but said directly: "Let's go! We will ask to see the King of Wanxiang immediately."
