Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 483 Borrowing Troops

The condescending arrogance in Li Yunqing's words seemed to anger the princess from the sea.

Aulunli's beautiful blue eyes were almost narrowed into two slits, and a hint of cold light shot out from them, but her words were still calm:

"I thought that His Highness the Third Prince would be different from other people in the Great Yan Imperial Capital, but now it seems that I was wrong."

"The respect that envoys receive comes from the dynasty behind you."

Li Yunqing chuckled softly and narrowed his eyes:

"Princess of the Kingdom of Xi'en, let me tell you a story. Oh no, this is not a story. It is a fact that only happened last year."

Aulunli Dai frowned slightly:

"Your Highness, please speak, I am listening."

Li Yunqing slowly raised the tea in his hand like a wine glass, and shook it slightly under the illumination of the inscription lamp. The light green tea rippled:

"The northwest of my Dayan is a place called the Desert, where there is a Tarchao King's Court. The national power is not too strong, and it should generally be stronger than the Japanese monsters you are currently fighting.

"And during the Beginning of Autumn last year, they sent a prince as an envoy to Di'an City."

When Xu Yuan heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, while Li Yunqing said with a hint of joking:

"While the prince was staying in Di'an City, he got into trouble with the heir of an important minister in our dynasty. Unfortunately, the heir had a bad temper."

At this point, Li Yunqing paused and smiled, then asked Aulunli softly:

"Guess what happened in the end?"

"." Aulunli urged her eyebrows and did not answer.

"If you don't want to guess, I will tell you directly."

Li Yunqing raised the porcelain cup in his hand to his lips and blew it gently: "The prince was directly killed, and the heirs of that important minister are just like this king."

The words fell,

Li Yunqing drank the tea in one gulp and grinned:

"Three drinks as a punishment."

Tonight's negotiation ended unhappily.

Li Yunqing's words were already considered a naked threat and a humiliation to the Xi'en royal family.

Aulunli left, taking the tin can named Huron with her and leaving this low-key elegant room.

For a moment, there was silence in the wing room.

After a long silence, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing and stood up with his knees propped up.

Seeing this, Li Yunqing glanced at him, his voice slightly surprised:

"What, you're leaving too?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and walked towards the balcony of the wing:

"Go and get some cold air."

"Ah."

Li Yunqing chuckled lightly and stopped caring. He sat on the soft futon and poured himself a drink.

When he came to the balcony of the wing room, the cold wind of winter night was blowing away. Xu Yuan glanced at the lights of thousands of houses under the moonlit night of Di'an below, and asked quietly:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Yunqing put down his tea cup, looked at Xu Yuan's back standing on the terrace, and said with a leisurely smile:

"Negotiation is like pursuing a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of this world. You can't be impatient, let alone express your feelings directly. You have to know how to pull back and forth, and you have to go deeper and deeper bit by bit."

The moonlight was like a waterfall, Xu Yuan put his hands on the wooden railing, half-turned his head, and looked at Li Yunqing in the room. His pair of pale gold eyes were particularly deep under the moonlight:

"You know I'm not referring to this. When did your partner become the Kingdom of Xien?"

Li Yunqing paused for a moment, then smiled slightly in surprise:

"Hey, why are you kid using the skills? I don't remember that there are skills in this world that can detect lies or hear other people's thoughts."

"My luck is not aimed at you."

Xu Yuanhuan turned his gaze downwards and replied quietly: "Why are you doing this?"

"Of course it's to gain more profits."

"What do you mean?"

"hehe."

Li Yunqing chuckled, stood up from the thick tea table, and walked slowly towards Xu Yuan:

"My imperial brother and my cousin father gave me a chance to go to Japan, but unfortunately, apart from a name, my father gave me very little support."

As he spoke, Li Yunqing came to stand next to Xu Yuan, leaning against the wooden railing, slightly raising his head, looking at the dark sky, and said in a faint tone:

"With an ordnance share of 500,000 taels and four soldiers of the Forbidden Army, what use can I bring to Japan with this little possessions? I originally thought I could get at least a battalion of military horses."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he instantly understood:

"Can't you take your hands away?"

"Yes, the war in the north is enough to give my father a headache. I don't know if I can live with this little wealth. I escape from one pit and jump into another pit."

"It has its benefits after all. Going to Japan this time is like trapping a dragon into the sea, isn't it?"

"Hey, you just trust me so much?"

Li Yunqing tilted his head and raised the corners of his lips: "But you are right. Compared with being in Di'an City, you can really relax after going to Japan."

Xu Yuan also smiled when he heard this and stared into Li Yunqing's eyes:

"Then I wish your plan success."

Li Yunqing's eyes were slightly lowered and his tone was a little serious:

"It's hard to predict success. My father gave me too little, and the Xien Dynasty on the sea is not weak. Even if everything goes well, it will probably fail."

Xu Yuan was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Aren't you so afraid of death? Since the risk is so great, why do you insist on going there?"

"Because there, I can control my own life."

"What?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing leaned against the wooden railing and said with a leisurely smile:

"In Di'an City, my life or death does not depend on me personally. All the efforts I have made may be turned into a torch because of other people's thoughts. Just like my royal brother, who has worked hard for dozens of years. In the end, the young prince was also in my father’s thoughts.”

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing raised his hand towards the dark sky and shook it hard:

"As long as I go to Japan, no matter how difficult it is, my life, Li Yunqing, is still in my own hands."

"."Xu Yuan.

After staring blankly at Li Yunqing for a few breaths, Xu Yuan chuckled, shook his head, and said faintly:

"As a friend, I, Xu Changtian, can assure you that if you fail, I will..."

"Help me take revenge?"

"Put incense on your grave."

"."

Li Yunqing's expression froze, but then he nodded with a chuckle, turned around, looked at the full moon, and said with a smile:

"It's not enough to just add incense, you have to bring some wine, and the spirit wine starts with at least ten thousand taels of silver."

"You are quite greedy, but I agree."

Xu Yuan sneered, and then asked: "But if you really plan to cooperate with Sean, why did you use what I did last year to stimulate that woman just now?"

Li Yunqing did not hide anything and replied:

"For information, it can also be regarded as finding a way for me to survive if I fail in the future."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing smiled slightly and whispered:

"Although the big-breasted golden-haired princess is very honest, my royal family's shadow guards have caught their spies in many places." Speaking of this, Li Yunqing grinned: "Thanks to these blond and blue-eyed foreigners. With his special appearance, you can almost catch him right away."

Xu Yuan chuckled with unknown meaning:

"Oh, spying on the national strength of our Great Yan Dynasty, but this kind of thing shouldn't be hidden for long."

The Great Yan is too big and the coastline is too long. There will always be some people who will trade with those people for profit.

Li Yunqing nodded lightly:

"So I revealed something to them at this time. This was my first sincerity in cooperating with them, and it was also considered a bait."

"Until now, we have only a partial understanding of the Kingdom of Xien from the sea. We don't know their cultivation system, let alone how much energy the country behind them has. In this regard, they have more advantages than us. What a huge advantage.”

Xu Yuan listened to these words, thought for a moment, then realized something and asked:

"Are you trying to judge the strength of the Kingdom of Xi'en through the direction of the war in Japan?"

"It's easy to understand. He is indeed my king's confidant."

Li Junqing gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up, stroked his sleeves, and said with a smile: "In the initial raid, the Japanese in the north were beaten to the point of abandoning their armor. Later, several of the biggest daimyo led a coalition to form a coalition. After that, the battle line was barely maintained, but it was still being pushed forward by the Kingdom of Xi'en, and it was not until the Nawangtu River area that we took advantage of the favorable geographical location to hold on."

Xu Yuan touched his chin and asked with a smile:

"But I remember that you said before that it was the Japanese people who had their own clever plan."

"I don't deny this."

Li Yunqing smiled naturally and said: "At least, that was the case at first."

Speaking of this, Li Yunqing changed the topic and his eyes became a little gloomy:

"But Changtian, you have to know that the war there has been going on for more than a year now."

"You mean reinforcements from the Kingdom of Xien have arrived?"

"There is no relevant intelligence to confirm this, but this is my judgment."

"reason."

"I have a fat sheep in Japan. Well, a partner told me that they need ordnance to organize a counterattack. The demand for ordnance is even as high as nearly ten million taels of silver. However, I sent a message to ask for follow-up, but nothing happened. the sea."

"In other words, the Japanese counterattack has no effect?" Xu Yuan asked thoughtfully.

Li Yunqing nodded and spoke solemnly:

"Yes, Changtian, you have also seen real battlefields in the north. Would this happen if the military strength of both sides was equal?"

"."

The words fell into silence, and Xu Yuan did not respond.

Because the answer is no.

The wars of this era are not like the saturated fronts of previous generations. Every inch of land on thousands of miles of fronts is manned and garrisoned.

There are huge gaps in the defense line in the vast land. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded and surrounded. The battlefield situation can be said to be changing rapidly.

Just like the Barbarian King did when he bypassed the back and attacked Beifeng City.

That is

"Is the Xi'an Kingdom deliberately conserving its strength and retaining the Japanese?"

"uncertain."

Li Junqing smiled and denied Xu Yuan's question, and said softly: "Based on the current information, I conclude that even after more than a year of war, the strength of the Xien people on Japan Island should have surpassed that of the Japanese." There are few, but there is a high probability that they will not have the ability to completely end the war in a short time."

Xu Yuan looked at the people coming and going on the flowery street below:

"In other words, the Kingdom of Xien is waiting to see my attitude, Dayan?"

"It can be said to be wait-and-see, or it can be said to be paralyzed."

"."

After a brief conversation with Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan probably figured out the general situation in Japan.

The Kingdom of Nasien invaded Japan with overwhelming momentum. While they were happily waiting for the reinforcements to completely occupy the island country, they suddenly found a huge monster lying next to them, silently staring at them.

Eyes wide open.

so awkward.

It doesn’t matter if you fight, it doesn’t matter if you don’t fight.

After all, Dayan is very close to Japan.

If we don't fight, there are already sunk costs. All the previous efforts will be in vain, and we will not be able to account for it at home.

But if they continue to fight, if they advance too fast and the Great Yan Dynasty is alerted and directly push them into the sea, the losses will be even greater.

They even have to consider whether this contact will cause this giant beast to peek at their homeland.

Under all kinds of observations, the person in charge of the Xien royal family in Japan made a delaying strategy.

Wait until everything is investigated clearly before making any plans.

Now that Li Yunqing has informed Aulunli of part of Dayan's national strength, the news will inevitably make the other side even more wary when the news is spread back to Japan Island.

It's just this delay

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the north and sighed softly:

"If the Xi'an Kingdom had come a few decades later, everything would have been much easier to deal with."

"really."

Li Yunqing nodded and said with a smile: "The current situation is a bit intimidating, with both sides afraid. If those Xien people fully understand the situation in my country, they will be able to let go of their hands completely." ."

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing suddenly tilted his head and said with a smile:

"Changtian, you said earlier that you planned to sponsor me to go to Japan, can you tell me about it?"

Controlling the Royal Chamber of Commerce for many years has indeed allowed him to make a lot of money and have a large treasury, but it is still far from enough if he wants to implement his plan on Japan Island.

Xu Yuan glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"After what you said, I changed my mind."

When Li Yunqing heard this, his face darkened and he said in a deep voice:

"Xu Changtian, what you did is a bit unkind. I have told you everything I know!"

Xu Yuan glanced at him coldly and whispered:

"Why are you anxious? It's not like I said I won't invest in you."

"Ok?"

With a slight doubt, Li Yunqing laughed as if his face changed, licked his face and came closer:

"Hey, Yunqing, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone, brother."

"."

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched and he silently moved a step to the left.

When Li Yunqing saw this, he didn't look out. He also took a step to the left and rubbed his hands:

"Changtian, how are you going to invest in me, my brother?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing and whispered two words:

"Borrowing troops."

Li Yunqing's pupils shrank, and then he frowned:

"Borrowing troops? The situation in your Prime Minister's Mansion shouldn't be any better than that of our royal family. The affairs in various places in Dayan alone are enough to give Mr. Prime Minister a headache. Where did you get the Black Scale Army to lend me?"

Xu Yuan looked towards the north and smiled softly:

"Who told you that the borrowed troops I talked about were to borrow the Black Scale Army to help you?

"Who told you that I don't have my own army?"
