The King of St. Hillenburg did not know the inside story of Zhou Xingyun. He regarded Zhou Xingyun and his party as normal ocean-going merchants. Businessmen are all very focused on profits.
Now King St. Hillenburg plans to establish his own business group in the Central Plains. As a businessman, Zhou Xingyun must be very unhappy.
A business competitor has appeared for no reason, which no normal businessman would want to see.
What's more, once the power of the St. Hillenburg Kingdom establishes a business group in the Central Plains, Zhou Xingyun's profits from ocean trade will be greatly reduced.
Zhou Xingyun traveled thousands of miles to the Western Continent to do business, in order to make high profits from rare things.
Once the power of Saint Hillan Fort establishes a caravan in the Central Plains, it will undoubtedly be a two-way blow to Zhou Xingyun's caravan.
Because the caravan of Saint Hillan Castle can sell the products monopolized by Zhou Xingyun's caravan in the Western and Eastern continents.
Zhou Xingyun's business group will definitely be affected.
Therefore, the King of Saint Hillenburg promised Zhou Xingyun that they were willing to provide Zhou Xingyun with exclusive products.
To put it bluntly, St. Hillenburg's caravan will regard Zhou Xingyun's caravan as its only partner.
Expressed in modern terms, they regarded Zhou Xingyun's caravan as the only agent and would provide Zhou Xingyun with a large amount of domestic specialties.
In addition, King St. Hillenburg will also give Zhou Xingyun a generous reward.
"Excuse me, when will His Majesty's troops plan to set off?" Zhou Xingyun hoped to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, so he said to King St. Hillenburg: "Our merchant ship is already fully loaded with goods. If possible, I would like to set off as soon as possible."
"That's very good. We also want to set sail as soon as possible. However, due to some things, we ask Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun to tolerate it for a few days." After hearing Zhou Xingyun's words, the King of St. Hillenburg breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xingyun's speech was tantamount to changing direction and agreeing to his request.
"Excuse me, what else does His Majesty the King have to do? Is it to prepare supplies for the ocean?"
"Well... let's put it this way. I have a niece who is talented and smart. She has been interested in studying foreign cultures since she was a child, especially the knowledge of the Eastern Continent. Among our people, there are very few people who can speak Chinese, even those around me
This translator only knows a little bit about it. Fortunately, His Excellency Zhou Xingyun is proficient in our Chinese language, otherwise it would be a problem whether we could communicate smoothly today."
King St. Hillenburg said unhurriedly that although his niece is young, she is very smart and is a master negotiator who is good at sophistry. In a sense, his niece is a very talented and gifted leader.
By.
The most important thing is that his niece is proficient in Chinese and can become an important support for the development of St. Hillenburg's power in the Central Plains.
By the way, the reason why Zhou Xingyun can talk fluently with King St. Hillenburg now is not because he has learned the local language, but because he has Qili'an by his side as a translator.
Qi Li'an transmitted the secret message, communicated privately with Zhou Xingyun, translated slowly, and slowly taught him how to speak.
Anyway, the King of St. Hillenburg knew that Zhou Xingyun was a foreigner and needed time to organize his words when speaking, so he would not think that if he was slow to reply, he would be neglecting himself.
"Where is His Majesty the King's niece?"
The niece of King St. Hillenburg is undoubtedly Isabel.
Zhou Xingyun had already learned about Isabel's situation when she was young from Qili'an's mouth.
If nothing else, little Isabel is currently under house arrest in her homeland, a kingdom called Novafic.
Zhou Xingyun heard King St. Hillenburg mention Isabel as a child, and naturally wanted to know more information.
After all, King St. Hillenburg planned to let little Isabel go to the Central Plains with them.
In other words, King St. Hillenburg plans to rescue little Isabel who is under house arrest in the Kingdom of Novafic.
"My little niece is in some trouble. I'm afraid it will take a few days to come." King St. Hillenburg said vaguely, as if he did not intend to tell Zhou Xingyun and others the truth.
After all, this is their family matter, and... the rescue of little Isabel is a secret plan, and it is not appropriate to talk too much to Zhou Xingyun.
Or maybe King St. Hillenburg has said a lot of things to Zhou Xingyun that he shouldn't have said.
Previously, King St. Hillenburg hesitated for a long time before mentioning that he had a little niece, probably because he did not want to say too much about little Isabel.
However, in order to gain Zhou Xingyun's trust, he finally mentioned little Isabel.
"From the look on His Majesty the King's face, I'm afraid you may be in quite a lot of trouble." Zhou Xingyun smiled confidently. He understood little Isabel's current situation very well. The King of St. Hillan Castle wanted to remove her from Novafield.
It is really not easy to rescue the Ke Kingdom.
"If His Majesty the King can trust us, you might as well tell us the whole story, and I might be able to help you." Zhou Xingyun raised the corners of his mouth inscrutably, boasting without blushing: "Your Majesty the King, don't look at us as weak as we are.
It looks like we are actually very strong, very strong!"
"Your Excellency is indeed a businessman from across the ocean, and you have all seen it." King St. Hillenburg said with emotion, Zhou Xingyun is indeed an excellent businessman, and his ability to observe words and emotions is really extraordinary.
"Thank you for the compliment, then... His Majesty the King, can you tell us what kind of trouble your little niece is in?"
Zhou Xingyun's ability to observe people's emotions is really average. He can predict things like a god. He is just cheating secretly. He knows the past situation from the mouths of Qili'an and Isabel.
After Zhou Xingyun and his party arrived at the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg, they roughly learned that the country was located in the northern part of the Aisilans Empire.
If the area controlled by the three major forces of the Esilans Empire, the Holy Union Army, and the Oseland Alliance is regarded as the southern part of the Western Continent, then the area where the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg and the Kingdom of Novafic are located is this
The northern part of the border continent.
The existence of the Novafic Kingdom in the northern part of the Western Continent is equivalent to the existence of the Esilans Empire in the southern part of the Western Continent. They are both powerful countries that dominate one side.
Under normal circumstances, the Saint Hillenburg Kingdom would never dare to challenge the Novafic Kingdom.
As mentioned before, the reason why Qili'an's family was able to do business in the Central Plains was because they received funding from the Kingdom of Novafik.
To be sure, it was funded by the Isabel family.
The Qili'an family was able to expand its territory and build a country, and became the current Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg. Naturally, the help of the Isabel family was indispensable behind it.
The Kingdom of Novafic is a powerful old empire!
When the Isabel family was in power in the Kingdom of Novafic, their relationship with the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg was that of a close brotherly kingdom.
However, what King St. Hillenburg did not expect was that Isabel's family was defeated miserably in the coup.
It is really careless to miss Jingzhou, and one mistake will lead to eternal regret.
Fortunately, Isabel, the orphan of the previous ruler, successfully escaped from the royal capital under the cover of the royal guards.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, although the current king of the Novafik Kingdom successfully attempted to usurp the throne and defeated Isabel's family power, the Novafik Kingdom also emptied its wealth in the civil war and its national strength was greatly reduced.
Therefore, the king of St. Hillenburg dared to raise his troops and demanded that the current ruler of Novafic must let his niece Isabel go.
If the ruler of the Novafik Kingdom dares to touch a hair of Isabel, the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg will fight to the death with the Novafic Kingdom and will fight to the end.
In order to avoid war, the Kingdom of Novafic could only temporarily agree to King St. Hillenburg.
Therefore, they later captured Isabel who was on the run and did not dare to harm her.
Of course, this is only temporary. Once the Novafik Kingdom recovers from the civil war, it can tear up the agreement with King St. Hillenburg at any time.
Today, the Novafik Kingdom has been recuperating for several years, and the manpower and material resources consumed during the civil war have basically recovered.
In other words, the current ruler of the Novafik Kingdom is no longer afraid of the St. Hillenburg Kingdom.
Why is the king of Saint Hillan Castle so pessimistic? Meeting Saint Hillan Castle will lead to the destruction of the country.
That's because the current ruler of the Novafic Kingdom continues to put pressure on neighboring countries, asking them to deal with the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg overtly or covertly.
King St. Hillenburg wanted to build a safe place to live in the Central Plains, but in fact he wanted to find a way out for Qili'an.
The Kingdom of Novafic is becoming increasingly powerful, constantly intimidating and tempting the countries around the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg, making them surrounded by enemies on all sides.
If the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg is once destroyed, even though the world is huge, it will be difficult for Qili'an to find a place to stay.
The king of Saint Hillan Castle could only turn his attention to the Central Plains, hoping to create a secluded place for his wife and daughter in the distant eastern continent.
It’s a shame! Isabel’s family is dead, and the ruler of the Novafic Kingdom will definitely not let go of the Qili’an family with whom they have long been friends.
To put it bluntly, even if the King of St. Hillenburg does not protect Isabel and does not go against the current ruler of Novafic Kingdom, the other party will be prepared and get rid of Qili'an's family when the time is right.
.
To sum up the situation stated above, the Novafic Kingdom has now recovered from the civil war and there is no need to look at the face of King St. Hillenburg.
The ruler of the Novafic Kingdom could kill Isabel at any time, and united with surrounding countries to raise troops to destroy the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg.
The king of Saint Hillan Castle encountered the above situation, so he needed to form an ocean-going team as soon as possible to find a way out for his wife and daughter, so as to prevent his family from being almost wiped out like Isabel's family.
When Isabel was in trouble, it was the King of St. Hillenburg who hugged her with all his strength.
After the fall of Saint Hillan Castle, who can protect Qili'an?
No... After Isabel's family was defeated, they no longer had any allies in this vast land.
In the end, the king of Saint Hillan Castle decided to try to rescue Isabel from the Novafic Kingdom and let her flee to the Central Plains to take refuge and develop her power in the Central Plains.
After Isabel had stabilized her footing in the Central Plains, the king of Saint Hillan Castle sent Qili'an there.
