The brothers who fought side by side in the past have now become a situation where "I know you, but you don't know me", which is very sad.
"Visitor from afar, I already know the purpose of your visit... The large-scale sale of the Book of Contract is an inevitable trend in response to the world structure. I, Yamato City, will not refuse any party's purchase of the Book of Contract.
The demand... is just a necessary exchange of value, and the guest is invited to express sufficient sincerity." Dongfang Fan turned his back to Liu Yan and showed no sign of turning around.
Liu Yan and Qin Yafeng had already observed that a special team of hundreds of girls on the city wall were controlling a huge amount of sea water with both hands, orderly transforming a part of the sea into a huge whirlpool, which connected the sea and the
The sky-blue light between the contracting parties is the element of water under the law of water.
"Is this... the power of the Book of Contract? At first glance, it seems to be some kind of power that can control water... However, even if we search extensively within the scope of the dynasty, we may not be able to find so many abilities.
People with superpowers who have the same superpower...if we say
The dynasty is a power that inspires a single life form...The Book of Contract in Yamato Castle is basically customizing the power...No wonder it has the effect of countering the White Walkers..." Qin Yafeng was surprised and began to understand the reason for Ma Chengyun's opposition.
The reason for conquering Japan.
"I wonder what the three city lords need to pay in exchange for the book of contract?" Liu Yan said with a calm smile. He knew very well that in such a situation, he could not show a very strong desire to trade, otherwise he would only be at the mercy of the other party.
"Three conditions: First, I would like to invite a prominent person from the Tianyue Dynasty to live in Yamato City to ensure that your dynasty will not make any unfavorable move against our Yamato City after obtaining the contract; second,
Due to commercial confidentiality, Yamato Castle cannot directly sell the contract.
The contract can only be signed by suitable candidates sent by your dynasty; thirdly, every ten contracts signed will be exchanged for one such machine." After Dongfang Fan finished speaking, the Yamato brothers on the side nodded repeatedly,
The two of them had obviously already had thoughts about the floating light machine.
"Well... I wonder who the three city lords want to invite from the dynasty?" Liu Yan thought that only the first condition was a bit difficult. After all, the dynasty could not let Yue Chongsheng, the emperor, be used as a "hostage."
"This matter is not within my scope of consideration. However, I will only give your dynasty one chance. If the invitees you send cannot meet my conditions, then Yamato City can only regretfully refuse to cooperate with your dynasty. After all,
, Our contracts never lack buyers." Dongfang Fan waved his hand, looking cunning and calculating.
Neither Liu Yan nor Qin Yafeng could make a decision directly. After discussion, the two wanted to send the news back to the dynasty through the contact system on the floating light machine. However, the black clouds outside Yamato City blocked the contact, so they could only send them directly.
Three floating light machines returned to the dynasty...
…
The next day, in the palace of the Tianyue Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers discussed the news returned from Japan.
"Hmph! Japan has overestimated its own value! It even asked for hostages from the dynasty. This is clearly an attempt to threaten the dynasty. If it really follows Japan's words, they may make some difficult demands in the future. Absolutely
Can't agree!" Linghu Feng strongly objected. As one of the first families to defect to the Tianyue Dynasty, the Linghu family's prestige in the dynasty is definitely that of a first-line minister.
"Yes, once the dynasty shows weakness once, the people of Japan will definitely think that our dynasty is afraid of them. Not only will the dynasty's prestige be destroyed, but it may also allow Japan to take advantage of us to fight against the White Walkers and march into the Central Plains. At that time, it will be difficult to take care of both ends.
You must be on guard!" When the ministers saw that the head of the Linghu family had expressed his stance, 40 to 50% of the ministers immediately expressed their agreement.
Yue Chongsheng frowned. In his heart, he was indeed somewhat repelled by the conditions proposed by Japan. After all, in his opinion, Japan, the land of the strange ghosts, was just lingering on. Apart from the value of the "Book of Contract", there was no more value.
It's a commendable place.
"Stupid! A group of stupid mediocre people! You know that Japan is called the home of the White Walkers, you know that Japan is lingering on, and you know that Japan may be wiped out by the White Walkers at any time. How can such a country have the energy to march into the Central Plains? In my opinion
It seems that the reason why Japan asked the dynasty to send hostages was to worry that our dynasty would take the opportunity to invade Japan! Nowadays, the dynasty’s military strength is increasing day by day.
It is not something that a small Japan can compete with. As long as they see the gap, there will be no so-called crisis! In comparison, it is more important to discuss the candidate for the hostage immediately. There is only one chance, which shows that Japan does not have too much energy to consider.
Deal, 80% to 90% of their energy is devoted to resisting the White Walkers." Ma Chengyun ordered Hu Feng angrily, shouting with a thick neck and a red face.
"Does the Lord Protector have anyone in mind?" Yue Chongsheng thought for a while, and it was indeed as Ma Chengyun said, and immediately stood up to ask.
"Yes! I suggest that the queen go to Japan!" Ma Chengyun directly named the key figure - Dongfang Xueer without thinking.
Yue Chongsheng's face suddenly tightened: when he first appointed Dongfang Xue'er as the queen, he was criticized by ministers from all sides. After all, in everyone's memory, he and Dongfang Xue'er are brother and sister. According to the ethical principles of the Chinese nation,
He said that Dongfang Xueer should have the status of a princess or a princess, not a queen.
However, Yue Chongsheng insisted on being dictatorial. Even before he betrayed Dongfang Fan, he had secretly fallen in love with Dongfang Xueer. Now he has finally replaced Dongfang Fan. Even if everyone in the world is against it, he insists on letting the goddess in his heart become
The most irreplaceable existence around him - if the possession of Dongfang Yuqin and other concubines is due to a man's physical desire, then the feelings for Dongfang Xueer can be said to be the last pure love in Yue Chongsheng's heart.
"No! I will never let the queen be put in danger!" Yue Chongsheng was furious, rarely angry at Ma Chengyun.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the words of the Protector of the Country are reasonable. If there is a candidate in the dynasty who can best meet the requirements of Japan, the only one is the Queen... The position of the Queen is a model of motherly etiquette for the world. At this time, it is
This is a time when the dynasty needs to rely on the queen, so please think twice." The person who spoke was a middle-aged and elderly man with a stout body. This man was the former president of Northeastern University, his name was Niu Ren, and his original identity was still the governor of the province.
Nowadays, he also has considerable support in the court.
Niu Ren is a very traditional person and attaches great importance to ethics. At first, he went on a hunger strike for a week in order to get Yue Chongsheng to give up making Dongfang Xueer the queen. Later, Yue Chongsheng went to visit him in person before eating. After that, he did not mention it again.
But he has always been worried about the matter of the queen.
Now, there is a good opportunity in front of him to send the queen away from the dynasty, and Niu Ren will naturally not let it pass!
"This..." Yue Chongsheng looked at more and more ministers suggesting that the Queen should be taken as a hostage, and he began to feel a little helpless in his heart: It turns out that even if he becomes the emperor who is above ten thousand people, there are still times when he is helpless, like
Now, if we continue to insist on dictatorship, the entire dynasty will fall into a situation of divided opinions. Although it will not have any impact in the short term, in the long run, the resentment between the monarch and his ministers will last forever.
"Princess Dongfang, what do you think?" Yue Chongsheng gritted his teeth and asked Dongfang Yun among the ministers of His Highness - Dongfang Yun is the contemporary head of the Dongfang family and the father of Dongfang Yuqin. Dongfang Yuqin passed away a few days ago.
He was assassinated, so as a father, he has been immersed in grief.
"Ah? Oh... I think the Lord Protector's suggestion has its meaning. Besides, the queen has always been protected by that mysterious light. I think there will be no danger in coming to Japan... but we can't let the queen be completely unrestricted.
Staying in a foreign country is restricted to a certain period of time
The right thing to do..." Dongfang Yun is neither too old nor too young. He was in his thirties and almost forties because he had always taken good care of himself, so he was at the peak of his life. However, the loss of his daughter made him lose five years in vain overnight.
His hair has become mature, and his overall mental outlook is obviously not as plump as before.
Yue Chongsheng looked at Dongfang Yun's expression without any guilt in his heart; however, although Dongfang Yun's suggestion was to find a point of agreement between the two parties' opinions, it was just right. In desperation, Yue Chongsheng could only nod...
Three days later, Qin Siqi, the female general who founded the dynasty, led two hundred flying machines to escort Queen Tianyue to Yamato City in Japan——
At the Hakodate port outside Yamato Castle, two female generals, Qin Siqi and Qin Yafeng, looked at each other without saying a word. A square cabin was lowered from the light machine behind Qin Siqi. When the hatch opened, a person walked out of it.
A year's time has made this woman with a twists and turns more fragile, but the perseverance in her eyes has not diminished. The luxurious clothes on her body failed to decorate her with nobility, but instead highlighted her untainted mundane nature.
Noble temperament - just like a piece of white snow, the most real thing is always the flawless whiteness that stuns the earth.
"She is worthy of being the queen of your dynasty. Her style is impressive..." Yamato Ryuichi looked at Dongfang Xue'er with admiration in his eyes.
"Haha, City Lord Long Yi is so impressed. Xueer came here today to promote long-term peace between the dynasty and your city. In the future, I would like to ask the City Lord to take care of you." Dongfang Xueer said with a smile.
Foreign country did not have much fear, but felt a little bit relaxed because he could escape from the harem that was full of conflicts.
"City Lord, I am here to answer the trade contract with the queen. At the same time, I will live in Yamato City as a follower. The two hundred floating light aircraft in the trade contract have been delivered. I also ask your city to send someone to deliver the two thousand copies of the contract as soon as possible.
The book was sent to the imperial court to conclude a deal between the two parties." Qin Siqi looked solemn. Unlike Dongfang Xueer, she maintained the most basic vigilance against all possible enemies.
"That's natural. As long as the third city lord selects a suitable person, he will follow the personnel of your dynasty and invite the two of you to the city to rest. We have prepared a residence in the city." Yamato Ryuichi personally led the way and brought the two women to the city.
Sent to Hakodate restaurant for check-in, at the same time, in room 1009, Dongfang Fan called Dongfang Biluo and Yamato Ayako to him and explained the relevant matters...
"This time, the entrustment of the Book of Contract is left to the two of you... It is impossible for the Tianyue Dynasty to send a large number of contracting parties to Japan and then take them back... And I also need some information about the Tianyue Dynasty.
At that time, we will still have to rely on Ayako's ability to investigate, and Biluo will just have to ensure that his identity will not be revealed." Dongfang Fan received the transaction contract letter from the Tianyue Dynasty two days ago, and the words in it basically did not leak out.
his expectations.
"But Master, what should I do if another dragon-human ghost attacks me while I'm away?" Dongfang Biluo was slightly worried.
"It doesn't matter, I will put together all the contracting parties with the ice contract in the contracting corps, plus Mina's law of wood, there should be no problem. If necessary, I also have countermeasures, you just need to work hard
Just go and negotiate with the Tianyue Dynasty... In addition, pay attention to Que'er's traces. If you can find Que'er... contact me through the spiritual contract, and then respond according to the situation." Dongfang Fan is most worried about Tong Que'er.
, after all, it was just a child, and he was not sure how Kershin would deal with her.
"Speaking of which, the Tianyue Dynasty is really brave enough to send the dynasty's queen here as a hostage... I really want to see what the abandoned queen looks like." Yamato Ayako agreed. The information in Yamato City was very unclear.
There was no way to get news on the Xiaoshenzhou continent, so she didn't know who the queen was.
"If you are really curious, you can open the door and go out now to have a look... She is on her way to room 1011... Speaking of which, you shouldn't feel strange to her..." Dongfang Fan smiled, remembering that little girl in his heart.
