Chapter 1087 There Is No Place without a Confidant

Afterwards, the person in charge of the local branch of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was arrested by the government for bribing local officials.

In Yaguo, bribery is also a crime, and serious cases may even result in criminal punishment.

The merchant envoys of the Yangshan Islands stationed in Yaguo were also summoned and scolded.

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

Yaguo's revenge is coming.

It once threatened that whoever took in the Bailong people would be punished. As a result, the Yangshan Islands ignored its words, not only rescued and accommodated the Bailong people, but also defeated the Yaguo general Wulu. Although he was captured and released, he had already pressed Yaguo's face to the ground and rubbed it hard.

Even if Yaguo could not raise troops to attack the islands, it could not just let it go. At least it had to retaliate in other ways.

A few days later, Yaguo announced the suspension of the export of ironware, leather, ore and horses to the Yangshan Islands.

The eastern mountainous area of ​​Ya Country is rich in a variety of ores, many of which are essential for refining tools, especially for refining fine magic tools.

The ores of Yangshan Islands were originally imported from Ya Country, but after accepting the Bailong branch such as Wanqi Feng last year, He Lingchuan prepared for a rainy day and ordered Ding Zuodong and Guan Ke to find a new import substitute.

Guan Ke did find a new source, which is the Shining Gold Plain east of Ya Country. Although the situation there is not very stable, and the journey is longer, it takes a few more days to travel by sea.

As for the ironware and ores of Mou Country, because it has been fighting all the time, such materials have been restricted from export.

But the source of horses is a big problem.

Ya Country has many excellent horse farms, but Yangshan Islands do not have them, Qing Country does not have them, and Bailie has only one.

Without good horses, there will be no cavalry.

Fortunately, this problem is not fatal to Yangshan Islands for the time being.

He Lingchuan is prepared for all these. The most important cause and effect in the world, he forcibly absorbs the Bailong tribe, and it is inevitable that he will be hostile to Ya Country.

…

That afternoon, when He Lingchuan had just returned to Sodin Island from Blade Harbor, Lei Ni came up to report:

"There is a guest who calls himself Fushan and said that you will know if you tell me his surname."

Then, she saw the master's footsteps pause.

Fushan?

He Lingchuan thought about it, and smiled with understanding: "Yes, I do know. Where is he?"

"I have been wandering around Sodin Island for an hour."

So He Lingchuan walked to the main street by himself.

It is actually very easy to find the target on Sodin Island. Just go to the busiest market and see which stall everyone is avoiding.

Because there is a gorgeous tiger squatting here!

He Lingchuan first saw a familiar back, grabbing the hot casserole with one hand and eating a big piece.

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

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

He Lingchuan approached without hiding the sound of his footsteps.

The tiger's ears moved, and it suddenly turned its head, and saw He Lingchuan with its eyes wide open.

The people around only heard a roar, and felt a flash before their eyes, and the big tiger pounced on He Lingchuan.

It stood up more than ten feet tall, and no human could reach it.

The tiger's pounce on people was so terrifying that several people screamed and stumbled away.

With its weight and strength, even two or three strong men could be knocked down at once. He Lingchuan's horse stance was very stable, and he didn't retreat a step, but just hugged its big head:

"I miss you so much, Xiao Yu'er!"

The tiger also hugged his shoulders, rubbing its head against him, and making a mooing sound.

This was its way of friendly greeting, but the force was so heavy that it could kill ordinary people on the spot.

He Lingchuan rubbed its hot belly: "Long time no see, you seem to have gained weight again?"

From the side, Jiao Yu's body is as wide as a door, and his pouch is drooping.

"I have been squatting on the boat for two months, eating and drinking without moving. If it doesn't get fat, who will?" The man eating the casserole turned around and raised his chopsticks to He Lingchuan, "You are finally here, sit down!"

This guy, of course, is the long-lost old friend Fu Shanyue!

After not seeing him for a year and a half, he seems to have not changed much, but he has a little beard, which makes him look a little rough.

When He Lingchuan sees him, he can't help but think of Fu Shanlie.

The two look really alike.

He pulled a bench over and sat opposite Fu Shanyue.

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

"Oh, Taozi is here too?"

This little girl is the witch child rescued by Fu Shanyue from the Twilight Plains. Fu Shanyue named her Taozi.

Time is magic for children. After two years of not seeing her, her face has grown a little, but it is round, pink and tender, like a peach, and she is completely different from the skinny and sallow girl in the past.

Before He Lingchuan waved, the stall owner came over and bowed: "Master Island Master, what do you want to order?"

There were a lot of tiger hairs on his clothes. He Lingchuan brushed the hairs down and said: "Make me some crab porridge and some oysters. Give him--"

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

"Okay!"

Children love to eat sweets, Taozi's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Thank you, brother He!"

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

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 words.

As expected, Fu Shanyue continued, "I only taught her how to eat people! Her etiquette was taught by the maid my father sent from the palace."

Taozi nodded: "The king is very good to me, and the maid is also good!"

"The maid is not good to other ladies, but not to Taozi." Learning etiquette is not a pleasant course, "She is a ba!"

Obviously, the King of Chiyan is also very caring towards this rare little fellow.

It takes some time to boil the porridge, but the oysters and pickled shrimps come up in a blink of an eye.

The oysters were just caught from the sea in the afternoon, less than an hour away from the water. The stall owner pried off the shells and filled a full pot first.

The raw oysters are as long as the middle finger. They are fat and tender in this season. He Lingchuan can finish two pots by himself with a little sour sauce.

This is how local fishermen eat them. They just eat them raw after catching them, without even dipping them in the sauce.

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

Fu Shanyue swallowed one, then he said with a bitter face: "I can't stand it, come on your own."

It was too fishy, ​​and he, an inland person, really couldn't get used to it!

"You can eat people, but you can't eat this?"

Jiao Yu stretched out his tiger head and sniffed curiously, and He Lingchuan peeled one for it to try.

It chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"Hey, our Xiaoyu is still knowledgeable!" As expected, cats love seafood. He Lingchuan asked for a can of rice wine and filled it for the two of them, "Rare guests, why did you come to me?"

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

He Lingchuan smiled: "Being an official has too many red tapes, how can you be as free as me?"

He was also lying with his eyes open. Being an island owner is not only not free and uncomfortable, but also tiring like a dog every day!

Officials get paid, but he has to pay his subordinates.

"I've been around for a while, and your place is really nice and lively." Fu Shanyue sipped the pickled shrimp and frowned again, "It's raw, so why is it sour?"

"How is Chi Yan? Have you been doing well in the past year?"

"My old man is still alive." This time it was Fu Shanyue's turn to pour him wine, "He can't stand me being too idle, and he scolds me every other day."

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

Fu Shanlie's days are numbered, so of course he asked the prince to learn how to govern so that he can take over his job in the future.

"Why do you sound the same as the Taifu?" Fu Shanyue sneered at him, "But thanks to the immortal medicine case, Lingxu City is now much more polite to Chi Yan. The front line rotates soldiers, and we have a bye this year."

When Beijia fought, Fan Yao State had the obligation to cooperate in sending troops. In the past, Beijia always ordered Chi Yan to help fight, and Chi Yan was unhappy.

After the case of the immortality medicine, Chiyan was the most wronged. Although the mastermind behind the scenes, Qingyang State Master, was only stripped of his post as State Master and not executed, the Demon Emperor still had to find a way to make up for Chiyan. At least Chiyan did not need to send troops this year.

"I heard rumors several times that Beijia and Mou were going to cease fire, but they have been fighting until now."

At the beginning, merchants passing through Blade Port and Yangshan Islands were talking about it. But after hearing this rumor of the wolf coming more and more, everyone was not interested.

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

He Lingchuan nodded. With this kind of insight, Fu Shanyue has grown up compared to before.

Some words have to be said by him: "How do you know I'm here?"

At this time, the raw crab porridge was served, and the casserole was bubbling.

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 clams. There were really more ingredients than porridge. He scooped a mouthful and tasted it. It was incomparably fresh and sweet.

With this hot porridge to fill his stomach, he felt comfortable eating raw pickled fish and shrimp, and it was not so easy to turn into a jet fighter.

Well, not so easy.

"Isn't it your good work? If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself." Fu Shanyue pointed at him with chopsticks, "Fluorescent spores were once out of stock in Chiyan, and the palace hung up the angry lantern again. As a result, not long ago, fluorescent spores came again, this time they were produced by Yangshan Islands. When I asked, what a coincidence, the island owner's surname is He!"

He Lingchuan gnawed the crab legs: "You came here just for fluorescent spores?"

"Of course not." Fu Shanyue smiled, "I came for Yinsha."

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

One is alive, Yin-Hui; the other is the living dead, Ba!

It is said that Ba was born from the Disha.
