The Nurhan merchant in Jia Sang's mansion was named Pu Nai, and it was said that he was the son of a duke from the Nurhan royal family.
According to him, because he was not the eldest son in the family, his title and most of the property had nothing to do with him, so he traveled back and forth between Dachu and Nurhan to do business between the two countries.
This young man with blond hair and blue eyes looked indeed handsome with his rather European-style face.
Sheng Yuan grew up in the aristocratic circle of Dachu Kyoto. Judging from the steady speech and behavior of the other party and the natural and instinctive manners and manners, this Pu Nai should be a noble in Nurhan.
"Since you are from an upper-class Nurhan family, you should be aware of the current relationship between the two countries. What does it mean for a noble man to lurk in the border town of the enemy country during the war? You must be ready to sacrifice your life for righteousness. Already?"
"Oh~~No, no, no, that's not the case! Dear City Lord, I..."
"I am the chief officer of a city, not the city lord you mentioned!" Sheng Yuan interrupted immediately before he could finish his words, wagging his fingers kindly, "But listening to your words, it seems that you don't speak well of Da Chu. Familiar? Then how do you usually cooperate with Dachu?"
"Okay, dear Ms. Fuyin..."
"You are wrong again! The governor is an official position, and official positions should not be linked to gender, so it is okay for you to call me 'sir', but if you add the word "ma'am", it is not serious."
"Oh! Okay!" Pu Nai raised his hand in compromise, "Please don't misunderstand me. The main reason is that I have never seen a female official before. I'm in a bad mood for a while, so please don't worry about it."
Sheng Yuan smiled: "I heard that your current king of Nurhan is also a woman. Why are you still surprised by my position?"
Pu Nai shook his head: "Dear Lord Fuyin, we only have queens in Nurhan, but we have never seen any female officials."
"Very interesting." Sheng Yuan knocked on the table, "However, you should know that I did not invite you here just for a chat."
When Pu Nai heard this, helplessness appeared on his handsome face: "You can think that I took risks for the sake of huge rewards, but I must make a name for myself. I am just a businessman."
"The interests that businessmen value are not necessarily financial interests...right?"
Pu Nai shrugged and spread his hands: "I remember you Dachu has a motto, it seems to say... Oh, by the way, there is no need to blame if you want to impose a crime! Dear Mr. Fu Yin, are you planning to beat me to it? ?」
"Your Excellency knows Da Chu very well. However, I feel that understanding is one thing, but experiencing it personally is another thing! Of course, if you want to experience how to make a move out of submission, I can also make it happen. "
"Oh, no, no, no!" Pu Nai's face changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hands to express his refusal, "Master Fu Yin, this is not the way you are accustomed to treat guests in Da Chu."
"But there are many types of customers!" Sheng Yuan looked at the other party sincerely, "It depends on what kind of person you think you are!".z.
Pu Nai met Sheng Yuan's gaze for a long time, then finally gave up and dropped his shoulders: "If I exchange A Rong's relationship with the border town, can I exchange it for Fu Yin's friendship?"
"It depends on whose friendship you are with."
"..."
Pu Nai understood. The female governor in front of him was saying that he was not qualified to be the other party in the friendship connection.
"Then can Your Excellency Fu Yin make the decision for your emperor?"
"Your Excellency Pu Nai, I need to correct your wording again. There is an old saying in our Da Chu, which says, 'The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. I am a court official, and I can represent you on my behalf. The emperor's herdsmen can manage the country for the emperor and can serve as his majesty's eyes and ears, but they are not qualified to make decisions for the emperor."
"Well, if that's the case, there's not much difference between me and His Excellency Fu Zun. We are just helping our respective emperors convey their opinions and act as mediating spokespersons." Pu Nai felt much more confident, and even his back was straight. .
"I am an official of Da Chu. I am the chief official of a city appointed by the emperor himself. I can speak for His Majesty. But why should I believe you? The person standing behind you is
That queen of yours? "
"Because it is the regent of Nurhan who actively cooperated with Arong in declaring war with your great Chu. He is also the uncle of our queen. And our queen has been in power for several years and has long since reached the time of her own rule."
Sheng Yuan's eyes flashed, and he compared the information Pu Nai said with the information provided by the internal guards in his mind. Although they both matched, he still said: "Your Excellency said it very well, but it is still not enough. After all, words don’t stand up, right?”
Pu Nai did not expect that the beautiful female governor in front of him would be so difficult to deal with. He hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I have a pipe that your people looted. If it can still be found, I think I can provide evidence."
"The pipe is here." A cheerful male voice came from the window.
Pu Nai was startled and looked over unconsciously, and saw a handsome man holding his pipe and smiling stupidly.
Sheng Yuan looked at the pipe that was three times the size of an ordinary pipe and was speechless.
Doesn't anyone think it's strange for such a big pipe?
"Give it to him." Sheng Yuan saw Anyu playing with the big pipe and wanted to disassemble it himself, so she hurriedly asked him to return it to Pu Nai.
It would be better for him to dismantle this thing himself.
"Okay." Anyu, who heard the hidden meaning of Sheng Yuan's words, cooperated.
I saw him holding a dagger against the opponent's neck with one hand, handing over the pipe with the other hand, and warning: "Open it in front of the window, and don't face others! But if you do something inappropriate, let's see who is more powerful, you or me." Soon!"
"..." Pu Nai helplessly felt the awe-inspiring feeling from the cold iron around his neck, and honestly dismantled the big pipe.
A folded letter fell down at this time.
"This is a letter from the Queen herself, with her and the Queen Mother's seals on it."
Pu Nai opened the letter and was about to hand it over, but he saw that the female governor who had been talking to him had put on a pair of gloves at some point.
Sheng Yuan took the letter through his gloves, signaled Anyu to keep an eye on him, then lowered his head, unfolded the letter paper, and started reading.
"Do you know Nurhan writing?" Poonai did not expect to meet an official who knew foreign writing here.
Sheng Yuan smiled and responded.
The text on the letter was in standard print, and it was not difficult to read, but Sheng Yuan's understanding was limited.
And this limited knowledge was originally taught to her by her brother.
She has a good memory and can still remember it clearly.
But that was it, after all, she did not continue studying.
The fact that I can read it now is mainly due to the system that helps with translation.
"Very good, tell me, how many people like you are hiding quietly in the whole border town now?" Sheng Yuan's unconventional question confused Pu Naiwen.
