The two of them sat down in a private room by the river, and He Lingchuan ordered ten dishes from the very beginning.
Before Fan Shuang could say a few words, two cold dishes were served first, one of which was bright red in color and looked pleasing to the eye.
"What's this?"
"Drunk Grain Chicken. This is made with distiller's grains." He Lingchuan picked him a piece first, "I brought a few cooks from Yangshan over. Zhuyin Restaurant is introducing a new dish. Brother Fan came over just in time to help me try it.
eat."
Few people could withstand his enthusiasm. Fan Shuang ate several dishes in a daze before sighing in admiration:
“Really delicious!”
He Lingchuan turned back to let the boy watch the tea, and the next second he said: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, when will the hundred horses be able to hit the road? I'm really looking forward to it."
Fan Shuang joked: "Is it easy to race horses on the island?"
The Chigu horses purchased by He Lingchuan from the Yao Kingdom were not horses for farming and transportation, but mounts suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Why would an archipelago owner buy so many horses?
He Lingchuan smiled: "My island also has valleys and grasslands."
This trench air rushed towards his face, causing Fan Shuang to lean back: "It's a joke, I'm just joking. Today I'm bringing good news to Brother He: My king has approved it, and one hundred horses can be delivered within three days."
Chigu horses are between three and ten years old. They are all strong and strong, with uniform and shiny coats, and they are not old, weak or disabled."
He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "Your country is so generous!"
The Chigu horse is fully mature at the age of five, with well-developed organs and well-proportioned muscles. It has just passed its peak period at the age of ten, but it can serve as a war horse until at least thirteen or fourteen years old. Yao State has always strictly controlled the export of this precious war preparation resource.
He Lingchuan originally thought that it would be good if he could buy one. He also recognized some old and sick horses, but he didn't expect that Yao Kingdom actually produced the strongest and best horses.
But after he was overjoyed, he immediately felt something was wrong. Why did Yao Guo suddenly show favor to him?
Fan Shuang's words meant that releasing these one hundred young horses was in compliance with King Yao's order.
"A few days ago, when I was summoned by the king, I also mentioned Brother He's past deeds. My king greatly appreciated it and praised you for your upright conduct. You can feel more at ease when you cooperate with Yang Shan."
Fan Shuang was also careful when he said this, as if he had brought it up when he was meeting the emperor, and He Lingchuan had been appreciated by King Yao.
He Lingchuan was moved and immediately congratulated him: "Congratulations to Brother Fan for meeting Jun Yan. From now on, it will be a great success."
There are countless petty officials in the Yao Kingdom, and only a few of them can meet the King of Yao. Fan Shuang said modestly, "I was just summoned to ask a few questions."
But he could no longer hide his joy.
But He Lingchuan caught the key words in Fan Shuang's words. After hearing He Lingchuan's past deeds, King Yao praised him for his integrity?
How much of He Lingchuan's deeds does Fan Shuang know? It's nothing more than Lingxu City and the case of the immortal medicine.
King Yao would not praise a foreign businessman without reason. By "upright", does he refer to He Lingchuan's attitude of pursuing the elixir case to the end and not fearing power?
Well, the first obstacle that He Lingchuan encountered in investigating the elixir case was Cen Boqing, the son-in-law of Lingxu Grand Secretary Nong. However, although Cen Boqing made the Chiyan officials very difficult and frightened, King Yao who was thousands of miles away probably wouldn't pay attention.
to him.
When it comes to "power" in the eyes of King Yao, Cen Boqing probably doesn't have enough weight.
So, it’s Qingyang?
It just so happens that Qingyang is now serving as the Superintendent of the Yao Kingdom.
In the world of Panlong, He Lingchuan had heard how the supervisors and special envoys sent by Bejia were arrogant to their subordinate countries. The kings of Xilao were all pointed at the nose by Wang Supervisor, scolded to the point of being scolded in public, and did not get a trace of respect.
If this was Bejia's long-standing tradition and habit, King Yao might not feel too comfortable when facing Qingyang Supervisor.
So, what is the significance of King Yao suddenly summoning Fan Shuang and asking about He Lingchuan's past in pursuing the case of the immortal medicine?
He Lingchuan felt that there was something to be done here.
So he took a bite of deer meat and changed the topic: "The past of Lingxu City seems like a world away. I don't know where the Imperial Master Qingyang is now. After I left Lingxu City, I only knew that she was dismissed from the position of Imperial Master."
Fan Shuang coughed lightly: "She is no longer a national master, but the supervisor of our country."
"Supervisor?" He Lingchuan looked surprised and raised his voice three times, "She is your supervisor?!"
He couldn't stand the telescope in his arms anymore: "Master, your acting skills are getting more and more exaggerated."
Fan Shuang said: "Yes, yes."
"What's going on?" He Lingchuan was in disbelief at first, but then he realized what he was doing and let out a long sigh, "Qingyang Kingdom, the State Supervisor is really a good trick. He was defeated but not destroyed. Instead, he found another one thousands of miles away.
Good location.”
"You can tell when handling cases in the past that the relationship between her and Emperor Bejia is really deep." He looked at Fan Shuang with sympathy in his eyes, "Did Bejia send a supervisor here in the past?"
This question made Fan Shuang feel very uncomfortable, but she had to answer, so she stretched her chopsticks in the air: "I've never done it before. This is... the first time."
As a minister of the Yao Kingdom, he had some doubts about this matter.
"This is really... ugh!" He Lingchuan shook his head and ended with a long sigh, "Brother Fan reminds me not to step into the border of Yao Kingdom in the future."
"What you are saying is that Brother He is worried about his personal safety in our country?"
"Shouldn't I?" He Lingchuan squinted at him, "Back when I was investigating the case of the elixir, I offended Qingyang and was almost blown up to death in the inn by the people she sent."
"That's Lingxu City, and she can commit crimes unscrupulously! Now -" he took a sip of wine with lingering fear, "it's better that I don't appear under her eyes."
"Brother He, you run the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and intervene in the Seven Kingdoms' war against Bixia. Whether you like it or not, you have entered the sight of Qingyang Supervisor." Fan Shuang spoke quickly, shattering his plan to hide in a turtle shell.
"Don't blame me for being so straightforward, brother. If the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wants to develop in the Golden Plains, you can't circumvent our country, and you can't circumvent the Qingyang Supervisor Country."
"This..." He Lingchuan looked troubled.
Fan Shuang couldn't help but provoke him: "Brother He, back then Lingxu City was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and you managed to get through it without changing your face; now in the Golden Gold Plains, why do you have concerns?"
"I was still young at that time..." He Lingchuan coughed, "I had Prince Chiyan as my backing at that time, so it was not like I was alone in Longtan."
When Fan Shuang heard the word "Longtan", she always felt that it meant something:
Isn’t Bega’s demon emperor a dragon?
Fan Shuang said casually: "In Lingxu City, is there an expert protecting Brother He? Otherwise, how can we escape safely in the end?"
King Yao said that there must be someone noble behind He Lingchuan to help him.
To be able to save He Lingchuan's life from the maelstrom in Lingxu City under Qingyang's nose, how powerful does the so-called "noble" have to be?
"Ah?" He Lingchuan waved his hand quickly and denied three times in one breath, "No, no, no, where did Brother Fan come from?"
However, the more he denied it, the more Fan Shuang believed that there was something inside.
"I'm still thinking that it's been two years. But if Brother He feels embarrassed, don't say anything."
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really don't have any inside information." He Lingchuan said now, "Prince Chiyan tried his best to protect me, and the emperor is such a wise man. Besides, Imperial Master Qingyang made a big mistake and was accidentally killed by his opponent.
I held it down for seven inches and could no longer turn over. Tell me, how many of these things can a little person like me have control over? At that time, the wind and clouds were raging, and a big wave came over, and my little boat capsized."
Fan Shuang let out a long sigh: "Brother He said this, I understand!"
"Accidentally, I was held down seven inches by my opponent"? That was Qingyang Imperial Master!
What kind of opponent is qualified to touch the seven inches of this old poisonous snake and still win? If Fan Shuang had done it himself, he would have been choked by the poisonous blood before he even touched the seven inches.
It should be Shuangye Guoshi! Besides Qingyang’s old rival, who has such great energy?
He Xiao compares himself to a small boat, so who is the big wave? It’s not just Qingyang, otherwise it would have capsized and sunk.
He was very happy when he found out the news.
He Lingchuan saw his beaming smile and knew that he was secretly guessing about Master Shuangye - he even hinted it so obviously.
That's right, Fan Shuang has been studying in Lingxu City for several years and is no longer a novice in politics. The more He Lingchuan denies it, the more he will make up his own mind.
He Ling guided him to think in the direction of frost leaves, which was of course correct.
When the elixir case was fermenting in Lingxu City, the two masters Qingyang and Shuangye were fighting each other. The frequent exchanges with Shuangye greatly distracted Qingyang's attention, leaving her with little thought to pay attention to He Lingchuan.
After all, her real opponent is Shuang Ye, not a small character named He.
Furthermore, Fu Shanyue confessed to He Lingchuan only after he arrived at the Yangshan Islands that the reason why the case of the elixir of life in Lingxu City was progressing rapidly was that the Chiyan Kingdom did have the support of the Shuangye Imperial Master.
But he didn't mention it to He Lingchuan at that time.
So He Lingchuan took this opportunity to forcefully return the credit to Shuangye Guoshi.
The best thing is that not only did he not mention Shuangye's name, he even denied that he had received help from noble people in the first place, but Fan Shuang had already determined that the big tree behind him was Shuangye's national master, and would bring this information back to King Yao.
He Lingchuan then mentioned several large-scale chambers of commerce in Bejia, all of which had close cooperation with Yang Shan. With the help of wine and food, he seemed to be unable to hide his pride and said: "But, thanks to
Thanks to Ling Ling... Bega's care, at least 30% of the passenger traffic in my Yangshan Islands comes from Bega."
This is an exaggeration. But it doesn’t matter. How many business people don’t brag?
Fan Shuang didn't mind either, because He Lingchuan revealed another important information: Until now, he still receives special care from Lingxu City.
Otherwise, how could a small island owner in a remote place get so many big orders and so many passengers from Bega? There are so many deserted islands in the world, why can only the Yangshan Islands prosper in just a few years?
In other words, so far, He Lingchuan and Imperial Master Shuangye still maintain contact.
Imperial Master Shuangye is still the nobleman standing behind He Lingchuan.
