Fu Tianchou and his party didn't know it yet. They hadn't arrived in Yangzhou to establish a business, but all the information about the party, including their personalities, preferences, etc., had already been put on Zhuge Wolong's case.
After a group of people entered Daxuan territory, they were shocked by what they saw and heard! ~
The spirit of the people is completely different.
If the people they saw when they came south were like rotten soil and rotten trees, they were like small grass seedlings that had just broken through the ground. The light in their eyes and the enthusiastic energy in their bodies seemed to be embracing the thick clouds as they dispersed. The golden sunshine behind...
These people were building roads, but they were using some gray powder that Fu Tianqiu couldn't understand, and there were many monsters that were obviously not human beings helping to build the roads. This harmonious appearance made the group very unhappy. untie.
Xiong Xiong wanted to go over and ask, but was held back by Fu Tianchou.
"Just observe carefully and don't make unnecessary mistakes."
Zuo Qianhu's tiger eyes swept over and immediately calmed Xiong Xiong.
Among the people in this group, he admired Fu Shangshu the most, but he was not happy with Xiong Xiong, but after all, they were in the same camp, so they couldn't do anything.
The two sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were looking around, curious about everything.
Although they don't like studying, they grew up in Shangjing City and thought that the bustling and bustling city was nothing more than that! ~
Who would have thought that I would see many novel things here...
besides,
"Sister, there are so many people in the world here!"
"Everyone seems to be quite powerful and not easy to mess with..."
Fu Yuechi came closer and said.
Then, he exclaimed and pointed to the left.
"Sister, look at that patrol team, how majestic it is!~"
Fu Qingfeng looked over and was also surprised.
"This is not majestic. These are no less skilled than you and me..."
"However, wouldn't it be too wasteful to use such an expert to patrol the streets?!"
What the two sisters of the Fu family could notice, Zuo Qianhu, as a more experienced person with higher martial arts skills, could see more potential details.
As Zuo Qianhu, who has been around with swords, guns and sticks for half his life, he can immediately recognize the extraordinary features of the armor and weapons of these street patrollers.
From the mouths of other people, he extracted some useful information, at least knowing that these patrollers were not the fighting army of Xuan Kingdom.
"It's just a patrol team with such sophisticated equipment~!"
He approached Fu Tianchou and whispered his discovery.
Fu Tianqiu's pupils shrank, and he glanced at the equipment of the patrollers. Then, as if he thought of something, he looked sideways at the hoes, sickles, forks, etc. in the hands of the common people. They were all made of dark fine iron. ………
"So, this Xuan Kingdom has mastered the art of smelting refined iron..."
Even the farm tools of ordinary people can be made of fine iron. This shows that the military equipment of the Xuan Kingdom is far more sophisticated than I imagined. I wonder if I will have a chance to find out this time...?
Moving forward, the group's vision of knowledge and knowledge is constantly being corrected and subverted...
They saw women wearing official uniforms, directing large numbers of people at work; they saw fish demons summoning rainwater in a small area to irrigate farmland;
They saw the large academy, where the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard, and Fu Tianchou stayed for half a stick of incense; they also saw an official jabbering loudly to a jade talisman, giving instructions...
And with all this novel knowledge, the group finally arrived at Jianye City.
They were received by officials from the Xuan Kingdom's Ministry of Rites. To Fu Tianchou's surprise, his brother-in-law Nie Mingcheng was also receiving them.
"The few Feng Diners who came here to sleep in the open must be exhausted. Why don't you rest for three days first and let me wait and enjoy the friendship of the landlord."
Fu Tianchou asked: "I wonder when Lord Xuan can receive us?"
Minister of Rites: "This... Your Majesty is in charge of everything, and is in charge of the country and the country. Zhuge Lingjun will handle these diplomatic matters and I will take the lead."
Fu Tian was filled with hatred and clenched his fists.
It was too much to deceive someone. He came as an envoy of the corresponding country, but he couldn't even see the king of the other country.
"...So, when will Zhuge Lingjun be free?"
"After all, this is a major matter involving both countries, and it needs to be decided as soon as possible!"
The Minister of Rites said: "The process this time is that I will first consult with your envoy. If the matter exceeds the scope of my authority and responsibility, your order will come forward."
"correct."
"Your Majesty has specially given instructions that during the three days of rest at the embassy, the envoys can visit Jianye City as much as they want. Daxuan will not restrict the scope of your activities... Of course, you need to pay all the expenses yourself."
"I know that Director Nie and your envoy are brothers-in-law, so they have a closer relationship. If you need anything, you can report it to Director Nie."
Fu Tianchou looked at Nie Mingcheng behind the crowd. The two looked at each other with inexplicable meaning.
………………
Nie Mansion.
Fu Tianchou and his two daughters really lived here.
He was unwilling at first, feeling that it was necessary to avoid suspicion, but after Nie Mingcheng's persuasion, he still moved in.
According to Nie Mingcheng, since the Minister of Rites said so, it shows that this is indeed what Zhuge Wolong or the king meant.
"Your Majesty, you call him Your Majesty?!"
Fu Tianchou's beard flew wildly, he slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Nie Mingcheng and shouted angrily.
"Nie Mingcheng, have you forgotten your identity?!"
"In the seventh year of Longtai, you passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded the Imperial Academy Editor; in the tenth year of Longtai, you became a lecturer at the Sutra Banquet. What an honor it is!~~"
"In the first year of Changping, you became the governor of Yuzhou. In the fifth year of Changping...if you hadn't offended the villain, how could you have been sent to Jinhua Mansion..."
Fu Tianchou recounted the past events one by one, trying to recall the Nie Mingcheng he knew. "
Nie Mingcheng was silent for a while and said: "Brother Fu, you have come all the way and you should have seen the lives of the people under Daxuan's rule, right?"
Fu Tianchou paused and then said: "So what!~"
"As long as we are loyal to the court, persuade your majesty to eliminate the traitors, and restore peace to the court, with the concerted efforts of the Gongun princes, it will only take a few years to restore the people's power!"
"This Xuan Kingdom just took advantage of Daying's neglect of military forces in recent years and took advantage of the situation to rise!~"
Nie Mingcheng stared at Fu Tianchou without blinking.
"This...Brother Fu, ask yourself, can you convince yourself?"
After a pause, Nie Mingcheng suddenly mentioned something.
"Does Brother Fu know about the "Xinmin Digest" written by Daxuan Culture?"
Fu Tianqiu snorted heavily.
Nie Mingcheng said: "It seems that I understand it. It mentioned the general situation of the seven northern states. The states are basically in a semi-independent state that neither listens to the instructions nor the declarations. Brother Fu, is this true?! "
Fu Tianchou said angrily: "They are just wallflowers and despicable villains. As long as Xuan Guo doesn't cause trouble and gives Da Ying some time, we will definitely be able to eliminate these traitors!~"
"That's exactly what I came here for."
Nie Mingcheng shook his head and said: "I can guess that your general rhetoric is nothing more than a routine of dividing the river from the north to the south and governing it. In addition, the boxes of things on the carriage should be Da Ying's treasures, but you didn't Come to think of it, you can’t even see your Majesty’s face.”
Fu Tianqiu's face darkened.
Nie Mingcheng said slowly: "...Brother Fu, do you really understand Daxuan's strength~?"
Fu Tianchou raised his eyes and said coldly: "What do you mean?"
As the saying goes, if the ways are different, they will not conspire with each other.
Even if they are biological father and son, they will become enemies, let alone if they are just brothers-in-law.
Nie Mingcheng didn't feel anything was wrong with Fu Tianchou's indifference. If not, he wouldn't be Fu Tianchou.
"Do you want to see Daxuan's elite army training in the camp?"
Fu Tianqiu's eyes flashed with light.
"Brother Nie, do you have connections?!"
"I knew you were hiding your capabilities and biding your time, accumulating strength..."
Nie Mingcheng said: "I have the authorization from Zhuge Lingjun."
Fu Tianchou: "..."
………………
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian came to visit Nie Mingcheng.
After the two got married, they naturally moved out.
This time it was a servant who announced that a relative had arrived at home.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door.
Ning Caichen was stunned.
"It looks like, it looks so similar!~"
"What's so similar?"
Nie Xiaoqian stepped forward from behind and saw the two girls in the yard, her eyes stopped on one of them.
"Who are you………?"
The two girls were also stunned.
"Sister, you look exactly the same!~"
Nie Mingcheng called out: "Don't be stunned, come over and get acquainted."
"Xiaoqian, Caichen, this is your uncle Fu Tianchou, and they are your cousins - Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi."
Nie Xiaoqian was still glaring at Fu Qingfeng, but Ning Caichen pulled his wife to signal her to come back to her senses.
"Xiaoqian (Caichen) meets her uncle!~"
"Qingfeng (Yuechi) has met my cousin and cousin's husband."
Both sides bowed to each other.
Fu Tianchou was very happy when he saw Nie Xiaoqian.
Especially her gentle and demure temperament, which he had always tried to cultivate in his two daughters but failed.
He laughed and said: "Hahaha... Okay, okay, they are all good kids!"
"When you three stand together, without saying anything, others will know that you must be sisters, especially Xiaoqian and Qingfeng. If it weren't for the five-year age difference, they would be cut from the same mold!~"
"The so-called twin sisters born from the same background!~"
………………
There are rules for governing a country, and benefiting the people is the basis. There are rules for politics and religion, and actions are based on order. Even if there are good laws and good intentions, if someone does not implement them, it will lead to bad government.
