"Sister, let me teach them a lesson." Su Rui looked at the projected image with cold eyes and said displeasedly.
"A little impatience will mess up a big plan." Zhu Qinghong told Gao Chen, "Go to the next step."
"Yes." Gao Chen and Ying Cai took the order and left.
Zhu Qinghong's connection was safe again, and they were already on the way to Youshuang Kingdom.
She turned off the call and looked at Su Rui.
Su Rui nodded and immediately went to find the Zhao brothers. Yan Mi accompanied him, pretending to be deeply affectionate.
"Mr. Zhao, I have informed my uncle." Su Rui smiled innocently, "He is easy to talk to and will agree."
"Thank you, girl." Zhao Yiyang felt relaxed after hearing the news. Su Rui smiled, waved and left with Yan Mi.
Looking at the two people leaving, Zhao Yiyang frowned. Zhao Yilan patted him on the shoulder: "The days ahead are long."
"Yes, the future is long." No matter what aspect, Zhao Yiyang did not think he would lose.
They thought they would be left hanging for a few days, but they didn't expect the prefect to arrive soon.
The brothers were confused, so quickly.
main hall.
Gao Chen summoned the Zhao brothers and dismissed everyone.
He sat in the main seat and glanced at the two of them: "I heard that you want to buy food?"
"Yes, Lord Prefect." Zhao Yiyang raised his head and spoke confidently, "Our country is good at training animals, and sensing elephants is just one of them. The Youshuang Kingdom, which lives next to our country, is good at making various small props. It is of great use for survival in the wild, and it is also Tradeable.”
"Oh?" Gao Chen looked interested. The two countries have been at war for a long time, but they never mentioned it.
Zhao Yiyang clapped his hands.
A servant came in holding a wooden case in both hands.
Zhao Yiyang lifted up the red cloth covering it and introduced them one by one: "The sensing bell, which rings automatically when a demon approaches a certain range. The protective beads, carry them with you and use them for protection in critical moments."
Gao Chen stood up and walked over to look at it carefully. It doesn't look special at all from the outside. Is it really that effective?
"Accelerate the wearer. After wearing it, the speed will increase. There are many more. The governor can find someone to check them one by one." Zhao Yiyang handed over, "To express our sincerity, we are willing to leave one sensory elephant. When the deal between the two countries is completed, we will use the same value to The beast is replaced."
Smiling with satisfaction, Gao Chen ordered Yingcai to take the things in the case for examination.
If it really works wonders, you can accept it.
Rather than buying directly, he wanted to learn about the technology. There are many craftsmen in Haocheng, and if you have skills, you can carry them forward.
Lingxi County has suffered losses and understands that no matter how good a business is, it is better to make it yourself. What's more, now they have the conditions and abilities.
After taking the wooden case, Ying Caifeng went to Zhu Qinghong to investigate. Ono scanned it and found that the item did contain a small amount of power.
[Master, the power contained in the item is not given by the priest. It is obtained by refining the demon body. 】
"No wonder the power is so small." Zhu Qinghong covered the cloth back, "Can you deduce the production method in reverse?"
These things are useless to those who have strength, but to the common people, they can save their lives if necessary.
Conquests in all directions require armies. In addition to mecha armies, ordinary people's armies are indispensable. Ordinary people wearing power props will have an extra layer of protection for their lives.
[Okay, it takes time. This thing comes from Youshuang Kingdom. The more information we have, the better it will be for us. 】
Moreover, the things on the wooden table are all made from certain parts of the low-level demon's body, and the effects are low.
They can hunt down stronger monsters and make better props. Of course, it requires cumbersome techniques and more time. Yes, the results are worth it.
"Promise them." Zhu Qinghong ordered, "Pick two outstanding craftsmen to take with you on this trip."
"Yes." Yingcai bowed and stepped back.
She took the things back to the main hall. The report had been inspected and what they said was true.
Gao Chen laughed and slapped the table: "Okay. Since you are so sincere, I agree to trade with you."
Both parties sign a temporary contract.
Lingxi County donated food and seeds, and the Zhao brothers gave back sensory objects and power tools.
Only by establishing a trust relationship with this contract can we proceed with subsequent transactions.
Zhao Yiyang saw that Gao Chen was in a good mood and promptly proposed to send envoys to return home with them.
Gao Chen agreed and held a banquet to entertain the guests in the evening. The Zhao brothers breathed a sigh of relief as the first step was completed.
at dinner.
Gao Chen loudly announced that Zhu Qinghong and Yan Mi would be entrusted as envoys to welcome Lingguo and facilitate transactions between the two countries.
Su Rui was unhappy and wanted to go even if she made a fuss.
Gao Chen had nothing to do with her, so he agreed.
Only then did Su Rui smile.
"You, you, go early and come back early." Gao Chen said with a loving look on his face, "When you come back, my uncle will personally organize a happy event for you."
"Uncle." Su Rui blushed and looked at Yan Mi with a smile. Yan Mi suppressed the goosebumps all over his body and forced a smile.
Zhao Yiyang drank all the wine in his glass, his eyes dim and unclear. Zhao Yilan raised his glass slightly to congratulate Zhu Qinghong for achieving his wish.
Zhu Qinghong responded and took a sip. Who is the hunter and who is the prey will be revealed when the dust settles.
With limited manpower, the Zhao brothers could only take over one cart of grain and one cart of seeds.
They exchanged horses for pulling carts.
On the surface, there are only about ten envoys.
Led by Zhu Qinghong and Yan Mi. Su Rui went to play. Dai Qiyu was ordered to accompany him.
In fact, Bai Shifeng, Yan Zhen and a group of ten people followed far behind. They all carry mechas to protect themselves.
The day the envoy left the city.
The master and his wife reluctantly saw each other off at the city gate. Su Rui was relieved, and Zhu Qinghong said goodbye, staged a family drama. After the team set off, Zhu Qinghong and Su Rui sat down to sense the phenomenon, while the rest walked.
The subordinates were driving, and when they were tired, they got in the car to rest.
Along the way, Yan Mi was very caring and never gave Zhao Yiyang a chance to get close.
Su Ruijiao leaned coquettishly on Yan Mi's shoulder and said, "How long until we arrive? It's not fun at all, it's boring."
"Soon, be there soon." Yan Mi's body stiffened. He said gentle and affectionate words, but he felt very nervous in his heart.
Be obedient, and your immediate boss leaned on you.
He is also a person who can cut off the roots of people's descendants with just one word of disagreement. It's weird if you're not nervous.
Seeing Yan Mi's embarrassment, Zhu Qinghong covered his lips and chuckled. On the days when he was on the road, Zhao Yilan approached her intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to win her favor.
Zhu Qinghong turned a deaf ear and always stayed polite and distant. The team stopped and went, and the original seven-day journey took half a month.
On the other side, Zhu Qinghong and others were still on their way. Fang You'an had already led his people to Youshuang Kingdom, and the seven of them dispersed.
Wei Bojun and Wei Wan went into the city together.
Jiu Xi, Yuan Wanzheng, He Yang, and Ling Feng went their separate ways and met at an inn.
Slave traders can be seen everywhere in Youshuang Kingdom. They walked through the city arrogantly, with thugs behind them leading many people whose hands and feet were bound in chains.
They were slaves, skinny, half-clothed, and scarred. They live in numbness and despair.
Youshuangguo's inspection in the city was not strict.
Jiu Xi and others either entered the city through connections with slave merchants, or entered the city alone.
Fang Youan was in no hurry to enter the city and observed in the dark for a long time. He was born a slave and saw those who were pulled by chains and thought of himself.
Fang Youan waited for several days for an opportunity. A team of slave traders was attacked on their way to Youshuang Kingdom.
A behemoth emerged from the ground, and the small props worn by the slave traders were useless. Fang Youan was flying in the air and saw the demon roaring and raging.
The slave traders and thugs cried for their fathers and mothers and pushed the slaves to die in order to buy them time to escape.
The mecha faded away, and Fang Youan jumped down with a gun. He fought with the demon and stabbed his vital parts with his spear.
The demon was defeated and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
The huge body suddenly fell down, kicking up thick dust. Fang Youan turned around and left.
The slave trader came to his senses and trotted to catch up: "Strong man, strong man, wait a moment."
Stopping, Fang An turned around.
Young and handsome, with outstanding strength. The slave trader raised his smile and said, "Dare you ask the brave man's name?"
"I'm just passing by and have no intention of saving you." Fang Youan's attitude was arrogant, "You don't deserve to know my name."
"Yes, yes, yes. The warrior said it is true." The slave merchant nodded and bowed, "To be honest with the warrior, we are going to Youshuang Kingdom. As long as the warrior is willing to escort us there, the reward will be good. My surname is Wang. Whatever the warrior likes, just ask. I will definitely give it to you. You arrange."
"Gold." Fang You'an said firmly, "I want to send you to Youshuang Country. I want a box of gold."
"No problem." Merchant Wang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Heroes please. A warrior shows his talent and extraordinary strength..."
Fang You'an was too lazy to listen to his flattery: "Shut up! If you don't want to die, just be quiet. When we get there, we'll get everything we need."
"Okay, I talk too much, I should hit you." Merchant Wang smiled and slapped himself in the mouth, "Strong man please."
After successfully blending into the team, Fang Youan was aloof. As night fell, the thugs put down protective beads around the area and set up tents.
Fang Youan only occupied one tent, and the others could only squeeze in.
The slaves were not worthy of sleeping in the tents and huddled on the ground.
The demon's raid cost Merchant Wang a lot of slaves. But when he met a strong man, he made a smart plan.
In the tent.
Fang Youan reported the mission progress to Zhu Qinghong. Youshuang Kingdom does produce power items, but the technology is rough.
After asking around for a while, it turned out that a group of people from afar had come to Youshuang Kingdom.
They came with technology and lived here for a long time.
"The news that Jiuxi and the others have found out. The core technology of these props is flawed and they cannot produce finished products with greater power." Fang You'an grabbed the items with both hands and reported back, "The people who passed down the technology came from further away. A greater nation. A nation of priests.”
"A country of priests?" Zhu Qinghong became interested, "Could it be that all this country is composed of priests?"
"Absolutely." Fang You'an nodded solemnly, "Ninety-percent of the country's priests are priests. The remaining 10% are not priests and can also make power items. In such a country, it is conceivable that demons dare not invade. Bring the technology to Youshuang People from this country should be exiled."
Those who made mistakes in the kingdom of priests were expelled from the country and exiled. After traveling to the country of Youshuang, he stayed there.
The logic makes sense.
"There is another rumor." Fang You'an frowned slightly, "The most powerful priest in the Kingdom of Priests is as powerful as a special type of natural disaster-level demon. There are five such powerful people in the Kingdom of Priests. There were civil strife in the country, and later The situation is unknown.”
People with similar power will either check and balance each other, or fight each other.
Zhu Qinghong nodded: "Continue to collect information."
"Yes." Fang You'an pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty. Our country is short of manpower, and those slaves..."
