The two sat down again, and Qin Zhaoxian asked: "Did you enter the Ancient World Mountain that day?"
Xu Qian nodded and took a sip of tea.
Qin Zhao naturally asked him how he escaped from the Ancient World Mountain. Xu Qian put down his tea cup and said calmly with a relaxed expression: "Qinglong sent us back."
"Qinglong?" Qin Zhao stared at Xu Qian with round eyes.
Having lived for nearly five hundred years, with a high level of cultivation and a high position, it is difficult for anything to make Qin Zhao show such an expression, but the word "Qinglong" can.
The culture of the Tang Dynasty is very similar to that of China. Because the Tang Dynasty has been stable for more than a thousand years and its cultural inheritance is even more complete, dragon culture is even more valued in places like the Tang Empire than in China. For Qin Zhao, it has a different meaning, because he knows very well that dragons really exist.
There is a dragon blood pool in the Daming Palace, which is the dragon's blood. If there is no dragon, where does this dragon's blood come from? It's just a living dragon that no one has ever seen again. Now Xu Qian means that he saw a green dragon in the Ancient World Mountain, and it was the green dragon that sent him out of the Ancient World Mountain. This news was shocking to Qin Zhao. pole.
Just as Qin Zhao was about to ask, there was a knock on the door from outside.
An attendant of Qin Zhao opened the door and came in, "Master Chief Assistant, Master Xu's sister and two monsters have arrived."
"Oh? Shanshan is here?" Xu Qian immediately stood up and walked out regardless of Qin Zhao's reaction. Before Qin Zhao had time to learn more about Qinglong, he could only let Xu Qian leave. How can you stop someone from reuniting with his sister after they were separated for life and death?
As soon as Shanshan saw Xu Qian, she immediately threw herself into Xu Qian's arms. This little girl rarely cried, but this time she couldn't help it. Shanshan had never cried so loudly since Xu Qian's accident, but now that she reunited with Xu Qian, she started to cry loudly.
Xu Qian stroked Shanshan's head and held her lovingly in his arms. Xiao Huan jumped from behind Shanshan onto Xu Qian's shoulders, and she was also very happy.
"Xu Qian, that Hanhan guy is too big and can only stay in the corridor. The door here is too small for him to get in."
Although he has not been separated from Shanshan and the others for too long, these are family members that he can completely trust, and he always feels at ease when he is with them.
Xu Qian came to the gate and saw Hanhan lying on the floor in the corridor. Although several Qin Zhao's guards stood upright, they kept staring at Hanhan with curious eyes.
"Hanhan!"
When Hanhan saw Xu Qian's arrival, he immediately stood up. This station made the guards tremble with fright, and one of them even sat down on the ground with his legs weak.
The ceiling is not very high either, Hanhan almost touches the ceiling when he stands up.
Xu Qian patted Hanhan's neck, and Hanhan lowered his head to rub Xu Qian's shoulder. This way of greeting one person and one animal confused everyone else.
"Let's all stay here tonight. Anyway, it's a big place with many rooms."
That's true. Xu Qian does have this freedom, but Hanhan is so big that he can't enter the suite at all.
Xu Qianfeng was calm, and Hanhan had already appeared in the living room of the suite.
Seeing this scene in Qin Zhao's eyes, he narrowed his eyes and a strange color appeared on his face.
It is not difficult to move living things, monks can do it. The basic skill of monks is to release spiritual power to control objects within a short distance. The higher the cultivation level, the farther the distance can be controlled, and the heavier the items can be controlled. . But to get Hanhan into the living room, he has to pass through the middle door or wall. No matter how fast he is, this is inevitable. However, it is obvious that the door or wall is not damaged at all, which means Hanhan has not passed through at all. Past, so how did it get into the living room?
The monk is a human being, not a god. The physical body cannot do that kind of wall-penetrating technique, especially if it allows other living creatures to pass through the wall. Moreover, Qin Zhao saw it really, Hanhan definitely did not pass through the wall. Qin Zhao couldn't do such a method himself, so he was shocked in his heart, and his judgment of Xu Qian was raised to a higher level. According to Qin Zhao's analysis, Xu Qian must have some special magical weapon or learned some weird secret technique, otherwise he would never be able to do this.
In fact, Xu Qian just relied on the ability of the secret volume of mountains and rivers. He first put Hanhan into the secret volume of mountains and rivers, and then released Hanhan in the living room. The two actions were done in one go, and Hanhan completed a teleportation just by turning around.
After Xu Qian introduced Shanshan to Qianshu and Shi Wen, he let them play together. This suite is so big and has many things to play with. Even if you don't go out, you won't get tired of staying here for a week.
Xu Qian and Qin Zhao returned to the reception room, and the maid made another pot of tea. Qin Zhao couldn't wait to continue the previous topic - Qinglong.
But Xu Qian was not in a hurry to answer, but drank tea slowly, which made Qin Zhao even more itchy after holding it in for so long.
Xu Qian put down his tea cup and said to Qin Zhao: "Old Qin, I think we should talk about business matters. After we finish talking about business matters, how about we talk about private matters."
Talking about business? Qin Zhao had no intention of talking about business here tonight. This was not the place for the two countries to discuss cooperation matters. Qin Zhao just wanted to have a private chat with Xu Qian and then go back. Wait until tomorrow, and he would order Xu Qian to be sent to him. Send it to the State Council Hall, where state affairs can be discussed seriously.
"How about we discuss business matters tomorrow? You're tired tonight, so it's better to have a casual chat."
Xu Qian didn't force it, "Okay, how about I talk to you about what I saw and heard in Europe the past few days?"
Who wants to talk about what the hell they saw and heard in Europe? Does Blue Starfish not have Europe? Which European country has Qin Zhao not been to?
Qin Zhao was already sure at this time that Xu Qian wanted to use the information about the Ancient World Mountain to increase China's bargaining chip. It seemed that if we didn't talk about business, it would be impossible to hear the word "Qinglong" again.
"Forget it, since you want to talk about business, let's talk about it!" Qin Zhao was helpless.
Both of them are monks, so there is no difference between them at night and during the day. Moreover, when they talk about state affairs, they don't need other people to participate. They can really just talk behind closed doors and drink tea.
The Tang Empire had been stable for more than a thousand years. Its land area was very large, more than twice that of China. Even excluding the two places where monsters came from, it was still twice the size of China. It had never had a natural impact on the population. Growth has been controlled, and the total population is three times that of China, accounting for one-third of Blue Starfish. Such a big and powerful country naturally wants to obtain absolute leadership when cooperating with China. This is also a common problem among big and powerful countries.
Qin Zhao is also the same on this point. His attitude towards China is relatively friendly and he has always supported win-win cooperation. However, the basis of this cooperation is based on respecting the Tang Empire and taking the opinions of the Datang Empire as the main basis. From China's perspective, , this is asking China to become a subordinate state of the Tang Dynasty. Although Qin Zhao has repeatedly emphasized that this is not the case, China will not do this kind of kneeling down to beg for cooperation.
In fact, in recent hundreds of years, some small surrounding countries have actively requested to become tributaries of the Tang Empire, and some have even actively requested to directly become part of the Tang Empire. Therefore, from Qin Zhao's point of view, when the Tang Empire issues orders, no one in the world can do so. It is the most normal thing to dare to disobey.
Taking this as a starting point and implementing it into specific terms, there will be many differences. For example, the Tang Dynasty required troops to be stationed in China, but the Chinese army could not enter the Tang Dynasty. The reason is that the Tang Dynasty is powerful, so it will send troops to protect China, and there is no need for China to send troops to station in Datang for a long time. Only when Datang needs China to send troops to rescue, the Chinese soldiers can enter. For another example, the currency of China was changed to the Tang coins of the Tang Dynasty, which would facilitate trade between the two sides and promote economic development.
In the final analysis, it was because the tone of the negotiations was based on the fact that Datang was stronger than China.
"You are wrong, very wrong!" Xu Qian put down the teacup in his hand slowly, as if announcing a fact.
"Wrong? How could it be wrong?" Qin Zhao looked suspicious. Isn't it true that the Tang Dynasty was stronger than China?
Xu Qian smiled lightly and said: "You don't think that the cooperation between Datang and China is just a cooperation between two countries."
Qin Zhao nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's not just two countries, but two worlds."
Xu Qian continued: "Blue Sea Star follows the leadership of the Tang Empire. The intentions and actions of the Tang Dynasty represent the direction of the entire Blue Sea Star. Isn't this true?"
Qin Zhao naturally could not object, so Xu Qian continued, "Although China cannot dominate the world like the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that it cannot call for unified global action. It can even be said that the cooperation between the Tang Dynasty and China is two planets. In this case, the Tang Dynasty cannot be said to be much stronger than China. In terms of area and population, the two planets are roughly the same, right?"
