After the fairy disappeared

Subsequently, the person in charge of the local branch of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was exposed to have bribed local officials, and was therefore detained by the government.

In the Kingdom of Ya, bribery is also a crime, and in serious cases, it may even lead to imprisonment.

The merchant envoy from Yangshan Islands stationed in Yaguo was also summoned to give him a scolding.

Ding Zuodong reported the news to He Lingchuan, who just hummed and said: "Handle it properly and get the person out as soon as possible."

Yaguo's revenge is coming.

It once threatened that anyone who takes in the Bailong people will be given good looks. As a result, Yangshan Islands turned a deaf ear to his words. Not only did they rescue and accommodate the Bailong tribe, they also defeated Yaguo's general Wulu. Although they captured and released them, they had already pushed Yaguo's face to the ground and rubbed it hard.

Even if Yaguo couldn't raise troops to attack the island, it couldn't just let it go. At least it had to retaliate in other ways.

A few days later, Yaguo announced that it would suspend the export of iron, leather, ore and horses to the Yangshan Islands.

The eastern mountainous area of ​​Ya Kingdom is rich in a variety of ores, many of which are necessary for refining weapons, especially for refining fine magic weapons.

Most of the ore in the Yangshan Islands was originally imported from Yaguo, but after taking in Wan Qifeng and other Bailong branches last year, He Lingchuan took precautions and ordered Ding Zuodong and Guan Ke to find import alternatives again.

As expected, Guan Ke found a new source, which was the Golden Plains east of Yaguo. Although the situation there is not very stable, and the journey is longer, it takes several more days to travel by sea.

As for Mou's ironware and ores, because it has been at war, the export of such materials has been controlled.

But the source of the horses is a big problem.

There are many excellent horse farms in Yaguo, but there are none in Yangshan Islands, nor in Qingguo, and there is only one in Bailie.

Without good horses, there is no cavalry.

Fortunately, this problem is not fatal to the Yangshan Islands yet.

He Lingchuan was prepared for all this. The most important thing in the world is cause and effect. If he forcibly absorbs the Bailong clan, it will inevitably lead to enmity with Yaguo.

……

That afternoon, as soon as He Lingchuan returned to Sodin Island from Blade Port, Reni came up to report:

"A visitor came to our door and called himself Fushan. He also said that you will know if you tell me his last name."

Then, she saw her lord's steps pause.

Fushan?

He Lingchuan thought for a moment and smiled with understanding: "Yes, I do know. Where is he?"

"I've been wandering around Sodin Island for an hour."

So He Lingchuan walked to the main street by himself.

It's actually easy to find the target on Sodin Island. Just go to the busiest market and see which stall everyone is walking around.

Because squatting here is a colorful tiger!
He Lingchuan first saw a familiar figure from behind, grabbing a large piece of the hot casserole with one hand and eating it.

There was a little girl sitting next to him, eating very elegantly.

A huge tiger squatted next to him, opening its mouth wide and yawning.

He Lingchuan approached without concealing the sound of his footsteps.

The tiger's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned his head and saw He Lingchuan with his eyes.

Others only heard a roar, and felt a blur in front of their eyes. The wind blew, and the big tiger pounced on He Lingchuan.

It stands upright and is more than one foot tall, and no human being can reach it.

The tiger attacking people was so frightening that several people nearby screamed and stumbled away.

With its weight and strength, even two or three strong men can knock it down at once. He Lingchuan's horse's stride was very steady, and he didn't give in even half a step. He just hugged its big head:
"I miss you so much, Xiao Yu'er!"

The tiger also hugged his shoulders, rubbed its head against him, and made a mooing sound at the same time.

This is its friendly way of greeting, but its force is so heavy that it can cause ordinary people to die on the spot.

He Lingchuan rubbed its hot belly and said, "Long time no see. You seem to have gained weight again?"

Viewed from the side, Jiao Yu's body is as wide as a door, with the original bag hanging down.

"I've been squatting on the boat for two months, only eating and drinking. Who's fat if it's not fat?" The man eating the casserole turned back and raised his chopsticks at He Lingchuan, "You're finally here, sit down quickly!"

This guy is, of course, his long-lost old friend Fushan Yue!

After not seeing him for a year and a half, he seemed to have changed little, except that he had grown a little beard and looked a bit rough.

When He Lingchuan saw him, he couldn't help but think of Li Shanlie.

These two men look really alike.

He casually grabbed a bench and sat across from Fu Shanyue.

The little girl also smiled at him, with small white teeth: "Brother He!"

"Hey, Taozi is here too?"

This little girl is the witch boy Fushanyue rescued from the Twilight Plains. Fushanyue named her Taozi.

Time is magic for children. After two years of not seeing each other, her little face has grown a little, but it is round, pink and tender, and as serious as a peach, which is completely different from the skinny, sallow complexion of the past.

Without waiting for He Lingchuan to wave, the stall owner came over and bowed: "Island owner, what do you want?" There were a lot of tiger hairs stuck to his clothes. He Lingchuan brushed the hair down and said: "Roll me some crab porridge and some raw food." Oyster. Give him—"

He pointed at Fu Shanyue: "——Add a grilled eel, and add a sweet and sour pork for the little girl."

"okay!"

Children love sweets, so Tao Zi’s eyes narrowed: “Thank you, Brother He!”

"Little Taozi is becoming more and more polite." He Lingchuan rubbed her head and looked at Fu Shanyue, "You didn't teach her, right?"

How can an uneducated guy teach such a polite little girl?
Fu Shanyue rolled his eyes: "Look down on me?"

He Lingchuan smiled and waited for the next step.

Sure enough, Fu Shanyue continued: "I only taught her how to eat people! Her etiquette was taught by the nuns in the palace sent by my father."

Taozi nodded: "The king is very kind to me, and so is my mama!"

"Mammy is not nice to other ladies, but she treats Tao Zi differently." Etiquette learning is not a pleasant course, "She is a demon!"

Obviously, the King of Chiyan also cares about this rare little fellow.

It takes a while to make the porridge, but the raw oysters and pickled shrimps arrive in no time.

The oysters were just caught from the sea in the afternoon. Less than an hour after leaving the water, the stall owner pried off the shells and filled a basin first.

The oysters are as long as the middle finger and are plump and tender this season. With a dip in the specially prepared sour juice, He Lingchuan can finish two of them by himself.

This is how local fishermen eat it. They eat it raw without even dipping it in the juice.

He recommended Fu Shanyue: "Would you like to try it?"

Fushan swallowed more and more, then he calmed down with a grimace for a long time: "If you can't bear it, do it yourself."

It's so fishy that a mainlander like him can't get used to it!
"You can eat people, but you can't eat this?"

Jiao Yu stretched out the tiger's head and sniffed curiously, and He Lingchuan picked one out for him to try.

It chewed twice and then swallowed.

"Hey, we, Xiaoyu, still know the goods!" Sure enough, cats love to eat seafood. He Lingchuan asked for a jar of rice wine and filled it for the two of them, "O rare guest, why did you come to my place?"

"You have the nerve to say that? You came here to be the owner of the island, but you didn't even write me a letter?" Fu Shanyue raised his glass and drank it, "No wonder it was useless to persuade you to come to Chiyan and become an official. You are What do you want to do alone?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "There are too many red tapes in being an official. How can I be as free as I am?"

He is also telling lies with open eyes. Not only is he not free and comfortable as the island owner, he is also as tired as a dog every day!

When you are an official, someone pays you a salary, but as for him, he has to pay his subordinates salaries.

"I walked around a few times, and your place is really nice and lively." Fu Shanyue took a sip of the pickled shrimp and frowned again, "It's raw, why is it still sour?"

"How is Chi Yan? You've been doing well in the past year or so, right?"

"My old man is not dead yet." This time it was Fu Shanyue's turn to pour him wine. "He couldn't see that I was too idle and scolded me every day."

"You are the prince, and you should share the worries of the king."

Fushan Lie's days were running out, so of course he asked the prince to learn political management so that he could succeed him in the future.

"Why do you sound like a master?" Fu Shanyue sneered at him, "But thanks to the immortal medicine case, Lingxu City is much more polite to Chi Yan now. The frontline troops are rotated, and we have a bye this year."

Bejia fights, and the demon kingdom has the obligation to coordinate and send troops. In the past, Bejia always ordered Chiyan to join in the battle, but Chiyan felt unhappy.

After the elixir case happened, the country of Chiyan was the most aggrieved. Although the main culprit behind the scenes, Imperial Master Qingyang, was only removed from his post as Imperial Advisor and was not executed. However, the Demon Emperor still had to find an opportunity to find support for the Kingdom of Chiyan. At least this year, there was no need for Chiyan to send troops.

"I have heard rumors several times that Bejia and Mou are going to cease fighting, but the war has continued until now."

At first, the merchants passing through Blade Port and Yangshan Islands were all talking about it. But the rumors of the coming wolf have been repeated many times, but no one is interested.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?" Fu Shanyue continued to eat his seafood casserole, "Maybe, letting out this kind of news is a strategy in itself; maybe, the two sides are just fighting and talking, talking and fighting."

He Lingchuan nodded. With this kind of knowledge, Fushan has grown more than before.

He had to take the initiative to say some words: "How did you know I was here?"

At this time, the raw crab porridge was served, and the casserole was filled with bubbles.

How can entertaining the island owner be the same as entertaining ordinary guests? The casserole the stall owner gave him was filled with flower crabs, fresh scallops and fat razor clams. It had more ingredients than porridge. He took a bite and tasted it. It was incomparably fresh and sweet.

With this hot porridge filling your stomach, you will feel more comfortable eating raw pickled fish and shrimp, and you will not easily become a Splatoon.

Well, not that easy.

"Isn't it a good thing you did? If you want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself." Fu Shanyue pointed at him with his chopsticks, "The fluorescent spores were once out of stock in Chiyan, and the angry wind lanterns were hung up again in the palace. Not long ago, the result was The fluorescent spores are here again, this time from the Yangshan Islands. When I asked, what a coincidence, the island owner’s surname is He!”

He Lingchuan gnawed on a crab leg: "You came here just for the fluorescent spores?"

"Of course not." Fu Shanyue smiled and said, "I came here for Yin Sha."

"Yin Sha?" He Lingchuan was startled and suddenly realized that there are at least two kinds of monsters in the world who are not afraid of Yin Sha.

One kind is alive, Yin Jie; the other is the living dead, Jie!
Legend has it that Ba was born among the evil spirits.
