Chapter 1371: The Bait Thrown by the Yao King

"Besides the troubles on the surface, I'm worried that someone is still thinking about me in the dark." He Lingchuan gave a bitter smile. "You say, do I still dare to go?" "I will report back to the King, this matter must be investigated to the end!" Fan Shuang patted his chest. "Brother He, don't worry, you will be given an explanation."

He wouldn't dare to say it at other times, but the Yao King valued He Lingchuan at this moment; not to say that he would respond to every request, but at least he attached great importance to it. "If someone is really secretly setting fires and secretly dealing with Yangshan, the Yao Nation will not sit idly by!"

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh: "With your words, I can rest assured."

Fan Shuang hurriedly brought the topic back: "Brother He, don't worry, I will send a personal guard for you, from entry to exit, escorting you all the way."

What He Lingchuan feared most was the Qingyang Supervisor.

He was the investigator of the Elixir of Immortality case, and the Elixir of Immortality case was the reason for Qingyang's accident and stepping down in Beijia.

Hating the crow and hating the house, how could Qingyang have a good impression of him? As for the murderer who burned the Yangshan Society's Xuan City branch, he was not too worried.

A biting dog doesn't bark. The other party was showing off and intimidating, but the threat to He Lingchuan himself was not great.

"How capable is this guard?"

"Uh, this is the King's personal guard, it should be..."

He Lingchuan raised his hand to interrupt: "Just a joke. Brother Fan, give me two days to think about it."

"Good, then I will wait for the reply in Ju City." Fan Shuang smiled. "Just wait two days; the Boss Situ family shouldn't kick me out."

"The Boss Situ family still has this much demeanor." But they couldn't give a good face.

Why did He Lingchuan choose to host the Yao Nation guests at the Bamboo Hidden Tavern instead of the Original Homeland Society he often went to? Everyone knew it.

The Bamboo Hidden Tavern was already an industry of the Yangshan Society, and the wine and dishes served here used a large amount of specialties from the Yangshan Archipelago.

It was too far from the islands to the inland, so the live fresh food couldn't be transported, so they were all dried.

The first soup was abalone and scallop chicken soup; as soon as it was served, it was fragrant, making people's appetite open, and then taking a sip of soup and eating a head of abalone, everyone couldn't help but say 'ah', and their eyebrows were about to be fresh!

After the Yangshan abalone dried were soaked, they were repeatedly braised with refined top soup, and each one was as big as a fist. Take a bite, fresh and fragrant, and the meat was sweet and rich.

Even though everyone was used to eating mountain and sea delicacies in the Yao Nation, it was hard to refuse this kind of fat, fresh, and rich satisfaction.

One soup opened the appetite, and the subsequent dishes were served one after another, and the whole table was full of laughter.

While drinking and chatting, He Lingchuan negotiated several big businesses with the Yao Nation guests, one of which was even the procurement right of Weiyin Agent.

Weiyin is a mineral unique to the Flash Gold Plain, which can be refined into Weiyin Agent through special methods. Adding a little bit of this stuff when forging weapons or protective gear can effectively reduce its weight, making the finished product lighter and stronger.

Weiyin ore was originally a rare mineral, and most of the mining rights were mastered by the Yao Nation. It also researched a variety of formulas to make Weiyin Agent produce different effects.

Needless to say, this is a hard currency outside, and also one of the flagship products of the Yao Nation. Soldiers wear strong armor and sharp weapons, and the weight of that set of armor is not light; even if it only reduces its own weight by 10%, it is equivalent to improving the soldier's endurance and strength.

Once the battle time is long, it is quite considerable.

He Lingchuan had heard before that the Weiyin Agent used by Beijia was specially supplied by the Yao Nation.

This country had dominated the Flash Gold Plain for nearly two hundred years, and its family background was indeed very thick.

The Yangshan Archipelago had been applying for the procurement rights of Weiyin Agent, but the Yao Nation had been reluctant to let go, even selling Red Valley horses to it.

Gu Xuan, who negotiated business with He Lingchuan this time, was about thirty years old, and the Gu family behind him was a family specializing in Weiyin Agent, mastering three dosage formulas.

This was of course officially designated, and others couldn't do this kind of business at all.

The Gu family's asking price was not low, and He Lingchuan agreed very refreshingly. The output of Weiyin Agent was limited, and as long as it was transported outside the Flash Gold Plain, it could be sold at a high price.

The Yangshan Society couldn't lose money on this account no matter how they calculated it.

Several other businesses were also negotiated very smoothly, and He Lingchuan won several big orders after only a few rounds at the wine table.

Even the Soul-Absorbing Mirror in his arms could see it, clicking its tongue a few times: "Oh, the Yao Nation is suddenly so generous; is it called 'reluctant to let the child catch the wolf'?"

The "wolf" smiled.

These were all bright baits thrown by the Yao King to Yangshan, and both sides knew it. He Lingchuan wanted to eat these benefits, so he had to agree to the Yao Nation's invitation to enter the country to attend the Yao King's 59th birthday celebration.

The benefits were so rich that He Lingchuan, as a businessman, found it hard to refuse. And he also understood the Yao King's subtext: if He Lingchuan didn't go to this grand birthday celebration, not only would he not get the Weiyin Agent and other businesses, but the commercial exchanges between Yangshan and the Yao Nation would inevitably be greatly affected in the future.

Giving sweet dates openly, hiding threats secretly.

He Lingchuan complained intentionally or unintentionally: "It's not that I'm complaining, but the tariffs of your country have risen sharply recently, and we foreign merchants who earn freight are really unable to bear it."

"Earning freight" was said vividly, and everyone laughed.

Gu Xuan laughed before saying: "Brother He doesn't know, because the surrounding areas of the Yao Nation are fighting recently, and the Supervisor requires us to strictly control the export of war materials; Weiyin Agent and Red Valley horses cannot be sold easily."

He Lingchuan was surprised: "The Supervisor even manages this?"

"Yes, Supervisor, Supervisor, shouldn't we supervise all aspects of our Yao Nation?" Another Yao Nation noble son, Yuwen Xu, interjected, "Not only do we have to interfere in all sizes of affairs in the court, but what we sell out and what we buy in, we also have to manage!"

Gu Xuan whispered: "Brother Yuwen!"

"What are you afraid of!" Yuwen Xu drank until his face was slightly red, and at this time let out a strange laugh, "We are not in the Yao Nation, so what's wrong with chatting a few more words? Brother He wouldn't go behind our backs to report, right?"

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Not necessarily, not necessarily."

Gu Xuan just reminded him, and seeing that everyone didn't care, he didn't say anything more.

Others echoed one after another: "Yes, yes, if you don't manage it to death, how can you get money?"

"The stricter the management, the more money you get."

Everyone was doing specialized business; who could do these profitable businesses, who couldn't, and what scale they could do, weren't they all arranged?

"The most annoying thing is that she pretends not to see when you are doing things, and only says that you can't do this when you are almost done, what is that sentence—"

Others added: "It hurts the foundation of the country!"

"Correct, correct, it hurts the foundation of the country, so it must be banned, fined, and disposed of." Yuwen Xu tapped the table. "The standards are all held by others; if you want to be fined less, don't you have to hold silver and beg others?"

"Exactly, it harms the foundation of the country, so it must be banned, punished, and dealt with," Yuwen Xu tapped the table. "The standards are all manipulated by others; if you want to be punished a little lighter, don't you have to hold silver and beg them?"
