The people of Mopan City are preparing to welcome the Spring Festival. For them, this is a novel and grand festival. Every household is decorated with lights and colors, immersed in a beautiful and happy atmosphere.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Kuai Ma from Wanchun Village came to report that someone from Greater China wanted to come to Mopan City to visit Zhang Yi and presented a letter from the other party.
Zhang Yi opened it and saw that the person who wrote the letter was Vice Premier Sun. His tone was quite sincere, saying that he had been ordered by Chairman Zhao to bring gifts to wish the New Year and hoped to meet him in Mopan City.
Now Zhang Yi has not fully opened the customs. Only businessmen from the three countries who have dealt with it can obtain permits to visit Mopan City and do business, so Vice Premier Sun made a request for entry.
The brothers were all present and Zhang Yi told the story.
"This guy, what does he want to do here?" Shi Gandang shouted.
"I heard from the little fat guy that he is not a good person and wants to kidnap Yi Ge and Xiao Han. We will not deal with such people!" Niu Ben said angrily.
"If he dares to come, break his legs." Anu clenched his fist and said.
"He's here to inquire about the situation," Xiao Han said. "Actually, I want him to come and see for himself whether we are living in dire straits or are we barbarians living in caves. I want him to know, We don’t care about their help at all!”
"It's too abominable, let him see who the barbarian is!" Yue Ya'er said angrily.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh. Anu followed the bull and ran away, subtly becoming violent. Yue Ya'er followed Xiao Han and gained some sense. The husband sings and the wife follows, this is true. Zhang Yi moved his eyes to Xiaolong, wanting to hear him opinions.
"Yes, he is here to inquire about the situation. They want to win over us," Xiaolong said with a smile, "A big drama has begun. Are you ready?"
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded.
He is ready. Now, as the leader of the Mopan City area, he will start a game with the three surrounding countries.
He arranged for Xiao Han to lead a group of light cavalry and immediately rushed to Wanchunzhai to bring Vice Premier Sun of Greater China to Mopan City.
The journey was long, and it would take eight hours for the cavalry to gallop. Vice Premier Sun did not have the physical strength, so Zhang Yi asked Xiao Han to arrange accommodation during the journey, so that the guests could arrive at Mopan City around noon on the second day of the lunar month.
…
Coincidentally, at dusk, the fast horse from Xikou Village brought a letter from the governor of Little China, Lu Wang, with the same general idea, that he wanted to take advantage of the New Year to visit Zhang Yi.
It is understandable that the Chinese New Year is the best time to visit relatives and friends, but the leaders of two countries are incompatible with each other. They even bump into each other in time, which is a big problem!
"We can only arrange the time so that we can meet Vice Premier Sun on the second day of the new year and Governor Lu on the third day of the new year. If this is the case, let Governor Lu leave one day late." Xiaolong suggested.
That's okay, but the problem is that they are all guests coming from afar, and they must stay in Mopan City for a few days. If they don't look up, they will bump into each other sooner or later.
"That's interesting. Will the two families fight if they meet?" Niu Ben said with a smile.
"If they fight, who should we help?" Anu asked worriedly.
"We're not helping anyone, we're just watching the fun, hahaha." Shi Gandang said happily.
Well, the brothers and sisters are extremely immature politically. This kind of "international" joke cannot be made casually. Both families are backed by hundreds of thousands of troops. If not, it might lead to a war.
"This is a major diplomatic matter, no joking," Zhang Yi warned. "The guests are all special envoys, representing the country. You can't treat someone because of your personal likes and dislikes. You must receive them well and show respect, and you can't be careless. Especially. It is you who should take the lead."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Yi arranged for Shi Gandang to lead a group of light cavalry to Xikou Village to pick up Governor Lu. He made good time and arrived at Mopan City on the third day of the lunar month.
Anu and Yue Yaer were responsible for the reception. They arranged for Vice Premier Sun to stay in the castle, and arranged for Governor Lu to stay in the best hotel. In short, they had to separate the two families and not bump into each other casually, as that would Very embarrassing.
"Meeting is inevitable, Yi Ge." Xiaolong raised this question.
"Yes, actually, I want to arrange for them to meet at an appropriate time. The leaders of the two countries have never had formal contact. They should be provided with an opportunity for friendly dialogue." Zhang Yi pondered.
Xiaolong nodded in agreement.
Niu Ben scratched his head. In his opinion, this kind of thing was too complicated for him to participate in. He had better do his own safety guarding work.
"Daniu, your mission is very important. You have to protect them just like you protect me," Zhang Yi said. "If one of them has an accident in Mopan City, it will definitely cause a war for us."
"I understand, brother Yi, don't worry." Niu Ben assured.
…
Just when Zhang Yi thought that things were arranged and he could take a breather, a horse came to report.
"Brother Yi, General Wang Zheng of Jiyuan heard that Mopan City is celebrating the Spring Festival and plans to come to see you tomorrow to express our friendship." Tan Ma from Songjiazhai bowed and reported.
Zhang Yi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the chair.
What are you doing?
If you don’t come, you won’t come. Once you come, people from the three countries will flock to you. Is this what you agreed upon?
Then I thought about it, it was impossible to negotiate. There was no contact between the high-level people of the three countries. They all took advantage of the Chinese New Year to come to Mopan City to have a look and find out what was true.
"This is bad," Niu Ben was a little confused and said with wide eyes, "Brother Yi, when we went to Jiyuan City, you hid it from them. You said your name was Zhang Ping, but General Wang came to see you. Zhang Yi, what should I do?"
It's a bit difficult to handle.
At that time, if Zhang Yi revealed his true identity, he would definitely not be able to do business. General Wang would consider the issue politically, fearing that he would be involved in an unclear whirlpool.
Zhang Yi thought, now that the business has started, through the military procurement plan, General Wang earned 30% of the income out of thin air and made a fortune. Now that the two parties have formed a cooperative relationship of interest, General Wang will not care too much about anything.
"Nothing, just come," Zhang Yi made up his mind and said to Kuai Ma, "Go back and ask Minister Qiao Dayou to accompany General Wang. I will greet General Wang at Mopan City on the first day of the new year and I will certainly treat him warmly."
Tan Ma took the order and left.
It is more than 200 miles from Jiyuan City to Mopan City. It is the shortest distance and the road is smooth. General Wang is a martial artist. He will set out on horseback tomorrow morning and arrive at Mopan City at dusk.
"It cannot be ruled out that General Wang's visit this time has the purpose of investigation." Xiaolong said.
"Yes, each of them has multiple purposes. We can't stop them, as long as they come." Zhang Yi nodded and said.
It is difficult to say whether it will be war or peace, and the future is unpredictable.
The rapid rise of Mopan City civilization has attracted great attention from the Three Kingdoms, and a thrilling drama is about to be staged in this area.
