After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 637 Transactions and Considerations

  Of course he doesn’t need to follow the trend, he is the top one himself.

  There are guards guarding the tents of the National Division, but today's sandbar is unbelievably crowded, and there are people outside the security circle. He Lingchuan squeezed into the crowd, which is the best cover.

   Then, Li Qingge came.

  She is wearing a fiery red cloak today, with a white velvet neckline, red lips like fire, and a red coral hairpin on the dark cloud bun.

  Such a graceful beauty walked out of domineering steps.

  The year's praise ceremony is also a purple and blue brocade robe, striding forward.

  The distance between the two is ten feet, and they are both indifferent to each other.

  The guards entered the account and communicated their intentions.

   Not long after, a person walked out of the tent, with a white jade crown, frost red clothes, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a tall and straight figure.

  As soon as he appeared, the autumn wind blowing through the woods seemed to slow down.

   There was a commotion in the surrounding crowd:

   "National Master! Shuangye Guoshi has come out!"

  Bega was rich in the world and powerful for a while, but there were only four national teachers. In the eyes of most people, the national teacher in charge of Bega's Yuanli lives in seclusion, mysterious and noble, and he is only lucky enough to see it at the grand event in Caohai.

  He Lingchuan also kept an eye on this person.

   This is the famous Shuangye Guoshi, the backer behind Xi Yunhe?

  His age is second only to Qingyang National Teacher, but Shuangye National Teacher looks younger, only around twenty-five or six, handsome and elegant, like a jade tree.

  He Lingchuan still remembered that he was a monster, but he just looked like a human. The lifespan of big monsters is generally longer than that of practitioners, so it is not surprising that Master Shuangye looks young.

   What kind of monster is "Du Su", and why can it look like a human being?

  Shuangye Guoshi spoke, his voice was like a jade cong: "General Nian, are you here all right?"

   Hearing what he said, Nian Zanli hasn't seen Shuangye Guoshi for a long time.

  He Lingchuan's eyes flickered slightly. It seems that in the past two months, the New Year's Ceremony has been rejected by others, and Master Shuangye even refused to receive it.

  Nian salute stood still, clasped fists and saluted: "National teacher is well!"

  Li Qingge also bowed to Shuangye Guoshi Yingying: "Songyang Mansion Li Qingge, met Shuangye Guoshi."

   "You are the Lord of Songyang Palace?" Shuangye Guoshi hummed, looked at the two of them, as if he had realized something.

  Li Qingge gently parted her lips: "I'm taking the liberty to ask for an audience, I want to ask the national teacher to be a witness."

  Nian Praise added: "Also tell the truth."

  Shuangye Guoshi smiled: "Witness? I think you want me to be a guarantee." He turned around and pointed at the tent, "Come in."

  With his attitude, he clearly knew what the two of them were talking about. Looking at the New Year's Ceremony, I feel relieved.

   When Master Shuangye turned around, he glanced at the crowd.

  His eyes were as frosty as knives, so bright that people dare not look at each other, but his expression was half a smile but not a smile. He Lingchuan always felt that he was staring at him all of a sudden.

  The two made eye contact for a short while, and then moved away.

  Shuangye Guoshi turned around and strode into the account. He Lingchuan smiled wryly—

   Guoshi Shuangye looked at him with meaningful eyes, as if he still had two points of approval?

   That's really... Ugh.

  Nian Zanli and Li Qingge also followed in.

  He Lingchuan used his strength in both ears, trying to hear a few words in the din.

   However, there was silence in the tent.

   Obviously an enchantment was opened inside.

  He Lingchuan turned his head to look at Lao Dan, whose vacillating eyes betrayed the anxiety in his heart.

   "Nineteen can do it." He Lingchuan patted Lao Dan on the shoulder, "Don't worry."

   Just over a quarter of an hour later, the curtain was lifted, and Li Qingge and Nian Zanli walked out one after another.

  The haze between the brows of the year's praise was gone, he looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, and the pace of leaving was much lighter than before.

  Li Qingge's beautiful eyes are shining brightly, the corners of her lips are lightly raised, and she looks charming.

  He Lingchuan understood at a glance, the transaction was successful, and she finally got what she wanted.

   Li Qingge glanced across the crowd and saw him immediately. However, it's not easy to communicate with each other in public, so she smiled intentionally or unintentionally, and turned to walk towards her carriage.

  The little squirrel on He Lingchuan's shoulder slipped and ran away.

  He stood there for a while, seeing that Master Shuangye hadn't come out, he turned and left.

  Li Qingge's carriage was parked halfway up the mountain, not near the office in Songyang Mansion.

  She won’t be able to get a title in Lingxu City, mainly because of her status as a merchant, and secondly as a Taoist teacher, so she won’t sit in the front row of the sandbar.

  Although there are people on the left and right, at least it is not as eye-catching as on the sandbar, and it is covered by woodland.

  When He Lingchuan passed by, she already had visitors here, and the two sides were talking happily.

  He didn't stop, and walked away from the side, queuing up at a small vendor ten feet away to buy multigrain pancakes.

  Usually the sea of ​​grass is vast and there are more birds than people, but today the pits and valleys are full of Lingxu city dwellers, and the business opportunities are endless. Why are small businessmen reluctant to come?

  There are four or five pancake stalls here, but this one has a long queue, so it goes without saying that it must be delicious.

  He Lingchuan waited for a long time before waiting for the opportunity to add meat or eggs. At this time, of course he arrogantly wanted them all.

After a taste, I realized that the soul of this pancake is in the sauce, which is divided into two types: sweet and sour and hot and sour. The sour juice is fermented from wild fruits on trees. The special seasoning has become the unique secret recipe of others.

   But the sauce is light green. He Lingchuan looked at it for a while, and felt that eating it would not hurt his stomach.

  He only gnawed a couple of bites here, and the little squirrel jumped onto his shoulder from some big tree, pointed at the peddler beside him and said, "This one!"

  This shop sells dried fruit.

  He Lingchuan bought half a catty of strange-flavored broad beans for it, and the squirrel said while crunching: "Songyang Mansion wants me to tell you that it's done with her, take back the bamboo tube and verify it's correct."

  He Lingchuan let out a sigh of relief, not sure whether he was relieved or felt uncomfortably hot.

  The keepsake is easy to change the bamboo tube. This operation seems smooth and simple on the surface, and it only took a quarter of an hour to complete it in the Shuangye Guoshi tent.

   Actually, how much mediation work did He Lingchuan do behind the scenes?

  If it was easy, why couldn't Li Qingge handle it by himself?

  Nian Zanli was suspicious and suspicious, how could he hand over the bamboo tube without the strong guarantee of Master Shuangye?

   "The token is also handed over to the other party?"

   "Well, it was exchanged. There was a guarantee from Master Shuangye, and the other party did not bargain much. And Master Shuangye also told the other party that only he can use the token."

  He Lingchuan understands, the troop dispatch token given to him by Shuangye Guoshi is only for Nian Zanli himself. Baling Kingdom only recognizes him, and only Nian Zanli can mobilize those tens of thousands of horses.

   "It should be so." Borrowing soldiers is not borrowing salt, how can you be casual?

   "Master Shuangye also asked the Sir to pass a message to you, telling you to deal with the matter as soon as possible."

  He Lingchuan nodded.

   Shuangye Guoshi did what he said, and took out tens of thousands of foreign soldiers in exchange for Li Qingge's deadly treasure. This is a big deal, which shows his eagerness to overthrow Qingyang Guoshi.

   Now, it's He Lingchuan's turn to fulfill his promise.

   Guoshi Shuangye's patience is limited, and he will not let him procrastinate endlessly.

  He Lingchuan said to Squirrel: "Go and send a message to the Master of Songyang Mansion. Now that the bamboo tube has been purchased, start the next step as soon as possible."

  The squirrel jumped onto the high branch and ran away.

  This forest is where it comes and goes freely.

  Originally, Li Qingge was always wary of paying tribute to the previous year, lest he would crush the Gu worm to death.

   Now that the bamboo tube is in hand, her life is safe, so she can let go.

  Year tribute has already received the token of Shuangye Guoshi, He Lingchuan must make sure that he can't borrow soldiers, otherwise Yuan Kingdom will be in disaster.

  At present, one of their major advantages is that the troops of Nian Zanli are all staying in Xunzhou, with only some personal soldiers around them.

  This is Lingxu City. Strictly speaking, both Nian Zanli and He Lingchuan are strangers in a foreign land, without the slightest home court advantage.

   Even he is not as good as He Lingchuan here.

   This is one of the situations that He Lingchuan can take advantage of.

  …

  Nian Zanli strode back to his tent with a red face.

  When several staff members saw his expression, they all cupped their hands: "Congratulations, General, for successfully borrowing troops!"

The   year praise ceremony laughed loudly: "Congratulations are early, it won't be too late to celebrate after I get the head of He Chunhua!"

  Only one staff member looked worried and couldn't laugh.

  Others said when they saw it: "Lu Huansheng, what's your dissatisfaction?"

  The smile of the New Year's Salute was dismissed, and he looked over.

  Lu Huansheng immediately said: "It is of course a great thing for the general to borrow elite soldiers. Yuan Kingdom is a foolish king and has no way, so he is not worthy of his position! It's just, just..."

He looked at the crowd and lowered his voice: "The conditions offered by Shuangye Guoshi are really harsh. One hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand pieces of silk, three hundred catties of black crystal ore, and three hundred catties of good horses are given out every year from the Northwest Grassland. A hundred horses."

   Speaking of this, the smiles on everyone's faces were silently restrained. Shuangye Guoshi is a guarantee for the Songyang Mansion, and he has to reap the benefits!

  He has decided to borrow soldiers after receiving the New Year's praise.

"I've done the math, and this year's salary is close to half of Yuan Country's normal annual income!" Lu Huansheng said, pointing his fingers, "Especially because there are too few ranches in Yuan Country, and there are too few good horses that can be produced, and so many are sent out every year. The asking price of Qingyang National Teacher is not so high!"

  The last sentence made Nian Zanli's expression darken.

  He gave Qingyang Guoshi a gift and was about to lose his fortune in exchange for her chance to lobby the emperor, but the result was a failure!

  Shuangye Guoshi also opened his mouth like a lion in the letter, and Nian Zanli also felt chest tightness when he first saw it.

  But they can do it.

  A staff member saw his expression and immediately responded: "The war is the most important thing, and everything comes later. How can there be no cost for borrowing troops? What's more, these conditions are not only from Shuangye Guoshi, but also from Baling people."

  They borrowed troops from the Baling people through the hands of Shuangye Guoshi, so both sides had to manage.

  Lu Huansheng shook his head: "Shuangye Guoshi and Baling people want to benefit, and when Beja finds out, will Beja come to take a share?"

  The sheep in the Yuan Kingdom are so thin, can they withstand the three families taking turns?

  Nian Zanli said coldly: "You mean, if I return the soldiers, this battle will not be fought anymore?"

Lu Huansheng hesitated for a moment: "Zhao Pan has been transferred to the Northwest by the Hunjun to fight against the Great Sima. The humble position still insists on his own opinion. With our Xunzhou Army, there is no problem in taking Xiazhou before the spring of next year. After half a year of rest, after the autumn harvest, we will march south. It’s okay to point directly at Yuandu!”

   It’s the last day of April, ask for a monthly pass~

   The first 7 days of May are double periods. If you have tickets, please leave them on the 7 days. Thank you!
