Wang Ruiyang looked at the majestic palace in front of him and the strict guards. He took a deep breath and took the lead to walk towards the palace.
Guan Zhengqing followed Wang Ruiyang and walked toward the majestic palace in an anxious mood.
This is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Canglan. This is the first time that an envoy from the Kingdom of Qixia has come to the Kingdom of Canglan.
Looking at the palace, which was more than twice as majestic as the palace of Qixia Kingdom, Guan Zhengqing was filled with emotion for a moment: The world has changed so dizzyingly, who would have thought that enemies who were eager to get rid of them in the past would actually seek cooperation.
one day.
Moreover, Guan Zhengqing felt that the Country of Canglan was also looking forward to this cooperation. Because Wang Ruiyang contacted the left prime minister of the Country of Canglan in the morning and was summoned by the Emperor of the Country of Canglan in the afternoon.
This efficiency and speed are enough to explain everything!
Under the leadership of the palace guards, the two passed by two city gates, passed three major palaces, and finally saw the magnificent main palace of the palace - Jinluan Palace.
The Jinluan Hall is built on a ten-foot-high white marble base. There are 365 stone steps in front of the hall. In the center is a majestic relief sculpture of a cloud dragon that is one foot long and more than thirty feet long. The relief uses a complete piece of stone.
White marble.
There is a powerful power faintly revealed on the relief. This relief is by no means simple, I'm afraid there is some mystery behind it.
Climbing up the steps, Guan Zhengqing stepped onto the stone steps step by step. The stone steps were more than thirty long, more than ten feet high, and quite steep. Standing at the foot of the stone steps and looking up at the Golden Palace, it became even more majestic and majestic.
There are black-armored guards on both sides of the stone steps, and the guards are strict.
When he arrived in front of the temple, he saw the spiritual energy rolling around, like a fairyland. The spiritual energy here is not only rich, but also very active. Unfortunately, Guan Zhengqing has no intention of practicing now, and this is not a place to practice.
The guards led the two people to arrive, and they called out the name outside the palace: "Wang Ruiyang, the shopkeeper of Lingwei Trading Company, and Guan Zhengqing, the secretary of the Qixia Kingdom, have an audience."
Prime Minister Zuo came out first to greet him and looked at Guan Zhengqing.
Different from the Kingdom of Qixia, the Kingdom of Canglan is a large country, and many official positions in the court are divided into two, divided into left and right. But here in the Kingdom of Canglan, the right is respected.
However, Wang Ruiyang was most familiar with Zuo Xiang, and he introduced Guan Zhengqing to Zuo Xiang.
The left prime minister looked middle-aged and had a gentle smile. After seeing Guan Zhengqing, he immediately introduced himself: "A certain Huang Shaoxian, we already know everything about what happened in the West. Please come in. The emperor has arrived."
The emperor arrived early, which was taken very seriously. Guan Zhengqing arranged his clothes very seriously and came to the entrance of the hall. Before entering the ceremony, he sang: "Foreign Minister, the country of sunset in the west, the country of Qixia, Zhongshu Ling
Guan Zhengqing, pay homage to His Majesty, the Great Eastern Power."
As soon as Guan Zhengqing opened his mouth, the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom immediately smiled and said: "Come in. I'll give you a seat."
Immediately, a minister moved the chair and placed it next to the left prime minister, parallel to the left prime minister.
After Guan Zhengqing bowed again, he slowly sat down. Then the Left Prime Minister sat down. As for Wang Ruiyang, he could only stand at the end of the hall. Although Wang Ruiyang was good, in terms of status, he was not an official after all.
Guan Zhengqing was the first to speak, asking the two countries to unite to jointly curb the "ambition" of the Kingdom of Jinyang. In the end, Guan Zhengqing said shockingly:
"Now that the Kingdom of Jinyang is infiltrated, the Kingdom of Danyang has no power to fight back. And once the Kingdom of Danyang is annexed, the Kingdom of Qixia may not be able to survive for long.
Once the Kingdom of Jinyang is defeated, a superpower with a land area one and a half times your country will appear in the west of the Fertile Continent, and it will be a truly centralized country.
At that time, once the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Langya to the east of your country join forces again... the consequences will be disastrous!"
The emperor of the Canglan Kingdom looked solemn. He had to admit that what Guan Zhengqing said was completely without water! However, the emperor also had his own hesitations and considerations.
Nowadays, the country of Canglan is also in a very difficult situation; otherwise, how could it allow the country of Jinyang to grow and not attack the country of Danyang, which is already in a mess.
The country of Danyang is in a mess now. With the military power of the country of Canglan, it is completely possible to completely occupy the country of Danyang within a month. However, the country of Canglan is quite busy now.
The Langya Kingdom in the east attacked very fiercely, but in the once-dismembered Shaoze Kingdom, there were many talented and strategists who took the opportunity to attack.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. The reason why the Kingdom of Shaoze was not completely occupied by other countries after it was dismembered is that many talents emerged from the Kingdom of Shaoze. Although they refused to admit defeat to each other, they all had one thing in common.
Goal--to reunify the Kingdom of Shaoze.
If you want to unify, you need to cut off the claws of the surrounding countries one by one. So several separatist regimes in the Shaoze Kingdom took the opportunity to launch attacks on the Canglan Kingdom and the Taihua Kingdom.
The country of Shaoze has been at war all year round, and its soldiers' fighting ability is a mess.
Moreover, Qianlong Port, the only seaport of the Country of Canglan and the largest window to the outside world, has also been occupied by the Kingdom of Langya. This directly cuts off the external channels of the Country of Canglan.
In other words, the current country of Canglan is quite similar to the predicament of the country of Qixia.
Therefore, the country of Canglan wants to support the country of Qixia, but it really can't use much power.
Left Prime Minister Huang Shaoxian was very clever. He explained directly to Guan Zhengqing: "You are right, but for the time being, our focus is still on the east. And if we send troops to the west, it will be a two-front war. Even we cannot afford it."
, the risk is too great!”
Guan Zhengqing thought for a moment and could probably understand the situation in the Country of Canglan, but he also had an idea: "We don't need your country to send troops. We only need your country to provide some elixirs and some Nascent Soul masters. As long as we can help us in Qixia
If the country stabilizes the situation, we can hold back the Kingdom of Jinyang."
Huang Shaoxian pondered for a while and then suddenly asked: "I heard Wang Ruiyang say that your country can already produce black iron for alchemy? What do you think about this? You will give us the technology of black iron for alchemy, and we will provide your country with ten
Wan Dajun’s pills for one year, and a thousand Nascent Soul stages!”
"This..." Guan Zhengqing was stunned, "This black iron used for alchemy is the technology of the Zhang family, and the young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao, is a registered disciple of the Xuanzhen sect, and his master, Taoist Master Mingxu. This... I really
I can't agree to it."
"Hey... we also have difficulties. Now our country of Canglan has encountered unprecedented challenges, and the country is in urgent need of a large amount of black iron specially used for alchemy.
But you also know that Xuantie is too heavy and difficult to transport, and the trade routes are blocked by the Kingdom of Jinyang. Even if we want to purchase it on a large scale, we can't do it.
Mr. Guan, we are really willing to help your country, but we must also take into account the domestic situation. Mr. Guan, trading technology is the only reasonable choice today!"
Guan Zhengqing was really stunned. He didn't expect that this country of Canglan would be so greedy.
At this time, the Emperor of Canglan Country finally spoke: "Guan Zhengqing, what the Left Prime Minister said is what I want to say. Let's stop the discussion for today. If there is anything else, we will talk about it tomorrow.
Huang Shaoxian, please arrange for Guan Zhengqing to stay here first."
