MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 448 bargain
Chapter 448 Bargaining
Li Qingge shook his head, "However, Mao Qijun has some skills. Once he died, the civil strife in Shanyu Kingdom could not be suppressed, and it developed into the current situation."
He Lingchuan said with a smile: "These veterans of the aristocratic family just sit and wait for death? Why don't we act first."
"Fu Shanyue has been crowding around recently and never travels alone. Why do you think that is?" Li Qingge poured himself a cup of tea, "He is not stupid. After this period, he is in power. Besides , he must have someone to support him in the royal court."
If someone is unlucky, someone must benefit.
"No wonder so many people are scrambling to curry favor with Fu Shanyue, because they are afraid that it will be too late?" He Lingchuan mused.
"So what if he's uncomfortable, unless he wants to give up the throne of the monarch." Li Qingge shook his head, "Even if he is willing to do this, Lingxu City and the gods are probably not willing to do it. What is the end of disobeying Lingxu City, you come You passed the ruins of Qianxing City on the way, have you seen it before?"
"I am deeply impressed." The existence of the ruins of the Thousand Star City, the Twilight Plain and the lowly slaves are like a conspicuous scar, always reminding the people of Bega—
The power of Lingxu City is supreme and cannot be challenged.
…
The next day, Fu Shanyue unexpectedly appeared in the inn again.
Shi Erdangjia and others were already packing their bags, ready to continue on the road, He Lingchuan also wondered: "Why are you here?"
Fu Shanyue has been proud of the spring breeze these days, busy welcoming and seeing off, accepting flattery from officials big and small, as if he completely forgot about He Lingchuan and others.
The second head of the stone family began to worry that his three thousand taels would not come back, and Fu Shanyue came suddenly at this time.
"It's three thousand taels for you." Fu Shanyue handed Shi Erdang a stack of bank notes, "There is another three hundred taels, which is regarded as a shock fee."
Just kidding, three thousand taels of real silver is very heavy, and no one will carry it around.
Shi Er is the head of the family, but the biggest concern is, he smiled from ear to ear: "The prince is magnanimous!"
Fu Shanyue greeted Li Qingge again, and the two chatted and laughed a little, very happy.
He Lingchuan was listening, and suddenly found that these two people were so familiar.
Fu Shanyue even joked a few words with Li Qingge and told a joke, which caused Li Qingge to cover his mouth and chuckle.
With his reclusive personality, he usually doesn't get so close to strangers. But now, he invited Li Qingge to come to Chiyan capital again in the future.
These two guys just met a few days ago, and they were introduced by He Lingchuan. How many days have passed? Li Qingge negotiated one or two deals with Fu Shanyue, and they will be implemented in the near future, including Songyang Mansion opening a store in the capital, updating the weapons of the Xiting Guard, and so on.
Indeed, as Li Qingge said, Prince Chiyan is an important contact worthy of her great efforts to make friends with.
Besides, she hasn't forgotten He Lingchuan, so she naturally said a few words to him, lest he feel left out.
A beauty can have a good time between two men, and both sides can coax them happily. Such a long-sleeved and good dancing ability is really incredible.
After chatting, Fu Shanyue turned to He Lingchuan and said, "Father sent me a message asking me to do something for him."
Li Qingge heard it, and leaned over to ask, "Have you seen your majesty?"
"No, he just ordered someone to pass the message."
Li Qingge hurriedly congratulated him: "Since your lord has handed over the assignment to you, it means that more than half of your anger has been vented." Otherwise, it would be fine to assign the assignment to others, why use Fu Shanyue?
Fu Shan smiled and said: "I think so too. But I am in a special situation now, and I still have a few things to take care of. I can't leave the capital immediately, and you all know—" He turned to He Lingchuan, "So, I want to entrust this matter to you."
He stopped talking here and looked at the two people beside him.
Li Qingge immediately said: "Ah, I haven't put away my rouge box yet."
Shi Erdao was stunned for a moment, and said, "I have to go downstairs to get some wine."
These two are very discerning, and both find an insincere excuse to slip away.
There were only two people left in the room, and Fu Shanyue laughed and said, "About two months ago, Lingxu City sent a courier here, but it got lost halfway, and there was no further news. Of course, Lingxu City can't forget it like this, so Dad It can’t be done like this. Originally, Fu Shanji started to investigate this matter, but he is already dead, and now I will officially take over.”
"Don't do it." He Lingchuan rebuffed straight away, "Take care of my own affairs. How can I have that kind of free time?"
"I'll pay the reward, two middle-grade Xuanjing." Fu Shan was prepared earlier, and handed out two shiny things with his palms up.
This mysterious crystal is light yellow, polygonal, each is as big as a walnut, but the color is not uniform, and the bottom of one gradually turns dark green.
He Lingchuan also has Xuanjing, and knows that this is the form it should be. Natural Xuanjing is condensed in the ground, and the color and quality follow the fate. It is too perfect to be too fake.
Different grades of mysterious crystals have huge differences in energy. The quality of these two pieces has surpassed what He Lingchuan has seen before, and it is unknown who honored Fu Shanyue.
It's worth a lot.
Sure enough, if this guy returns to his own territory, he will be able to make a generous move? He Lingchuan took a look and said with disdain, "You want to buy me off with two pieces of Xuanjing?"
"Just do my brother and Chiyan Kingdom a big favor." Fu Shanyue stretched out his hand, and put another piece of Xuanjing on it.
is also light yellow, but bigger.
He Lingchuan suddenly changed the subject: "What kind of monster is the messenger?"
"It's a white-shouldered vulture."
He Lingchuan smiled: "You want me to do such a big favor, but you only offer three Xuanjing, you really don't think of me as a brother."
It's not good to be a brother like this, it's easy to lose your head.
Fu Shanyue said strangely: "It's just to find a monster, and I don't want you to turn the tide. It's a pity that I can't leave, otherwise I want to do it myself."
He Lingchuan was unmoved: "Really, then let me ask you. Why did Lingxu City send messengers?"
"Send a message."
"what news?"
"Uh..." Fu Shanyue hesitated before saying, "Forget it, it's been two months, so it's okay to tell you—it's the military situation on the Eastern Front."
"Then the military situation should be very important at that time, right?"
"…Ok."
"That's why the white-shouldered eagle is used to deliver it." He Lingchuan said, "The white-shouldered eagle is a bird of prey that can migrate long distances, but the number is very small. I happen to know that the letters in Lingxu City are divided into several levels. Swan geese and feathered cranes can be messengers, and the most important information is delivered by the fastest and patient raptors."
Even if other countries can tame the monsters to send messages over long distances, they will definitely not use them as frequently as the northern demon country—this is the base camp of monsters in the first place. Therefore, Lingxu City can also luxuriously classify the messengers.
These contents are obtained from reading idle books in Panlong City Wenxuan Building.
Obviously, Panlong City has also done a lot of research on the Beja Kingdom.
The more Fushan didn't refute, he acquiesced.
"This white-shouldered eagle suddenly disappeared, isn't it a delay?"
"Of course." More than a delay?
"Believe it or not." He Lingchuan asked him, "Why did you only send a bird courier for such an important military situation?" If the courier had an accident on the road, like this time, the consequences would be very serious.
"Uh... maybe there are not enough raptor messengers?" Fu Shanyue scratched his head, "According to the usual practice, one letter is indeed sent twice. With the same content, the other one was delivered by Hongyan, but it was several days late, which caused the Chiyan army to go east. Entering too late, missed the best opportunity to attack."
"What if the information about the white-shouldered eagle is obtained by outsiders?" He Lingchuan was thirsty, and went back to the house to grab a bunch of grapes and eat them. "The worst thing is that its disappearance probably shows that the law of information delivery of Lingxu has changed." To be grasped, such as the departure time of the raptor, the flight route, the rest area along the way, etc. Then the other party can intercept it once, and it will be able to intercept countless times in the future. I think this is why Lingxu City is anxious to find out this matter s reason."
Worse than the leakage of intelligence content is the leakage of intelligence delivery methods.
"But Fu Shanji didn't finish it until he died." He Lingchuan squinted at him, "With his resources and contacts, he couldn't find it out. Do you think it would be easy for me to do it?"
Fu Shan stared at him more, speechless. I just mentioned a commission lightly, how did this guy deduce it!
After a while he said, "How did you come up with this?"
"It's actually very simple." He Lingchuan smiled, "Your father is still angry, what kind of good task can I entrust you at this time?"
Learn to grasp the principal contradiction.
Fu Shanyue's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, you're smart, you're amazing, so you have to do this errand! How about this, double the amount of mystic crystals, and I'll give you two catties of white distilled silver. Aren't you Is there a bronze armored man, do you want to upgrade it?"
Distilled Silver is one of the necessary materials to upgrade the Golden Armored Bronze Man. He Lingchuan cheered up a little: "There are too few materials for just blindly, you should pack the other ones too."
As soon as Fu Shanyue calculated the account, his back went numb: "Your appetite is bigger than mine!"
Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that these two are just plastic buddies? After some ruthless bargaining, it was finally decided that Fu Shanyue had to gather all three materials, all of which were difficult points for the upgrade of the Golden Armored Bronze Man, and were rare items that even the rich could not buy.
Not to mention that He Lingchuan has no money now.
If he had gone to collect it all by himself, he would have had to run all over the place just to find the materials, let alone buy them... In the Chiyan Kingdom, white distilled silver is not for sale at all!
This is an important strategic material. The domestic production in Chiyan is extremely small, and every output is taken away by the demon king or the national teacher. It is not circulated among the people, and it is even extremely rare in the black market.
He Lingchuan, a foreigner, wants to get it here, it's hard to beat the sky. He even suspected that this thing is not very easy to buy in Beja.
Liu Gongcao of Panlong City was right, the full name of this thing is the Art of Bankruptcy, Golden Armor and Bronze Man.
Of course, it would be different if Fushan Yue helped.
He Lingchuan raised a finger: "I still have one last condition."
"You are enough!" Fu Shanyue had a bad temper, but now he pulled his face, "Don't push yourself!"
"Don't worry, it's easy for you." He Lingchuan smiled, "Remember the dragon pattern we saw in the illusion of Qianxing City? It's the one painted outside the official building."
