On March 24th, the morning of early spring was foggy, the heavy snow had melted, and warmth returned to the earth again, as if spring had officially arrived at this moment.
Construction is going on everywhere in Dongshuang City.
The Eastern Capital has just been built.
Whether it is the three, four or six departments or various public facilities, they need to be expanded and repaired.
What the Qin Empire lacks at this time is not money, but time.
On the city wall, a magic crystal cannon is being hoisted and placed.
Weiguo Gong Wei Qiu is standing by, personally supervising the construction.
The guarding position of the East City Gate is very important.
If Dongshuang City is attacked by the enemy, this direction will bear the brunt. .
The cold wind of early spring blew, and the lace of Wei Chou's robe slowly swayed, and a mysterious force of ghostly power lingered around his body like a cloud, creating a spectacle.
"Tuk Tuk" The sound of horse hooves came rapidly, and two very senior Gentian Camp scouts shouted loudly outside the city: "Lord Commander, our people captured a cargo ship from Tianji Continent at the harbor of the East China Sea.
The people on it said it was from Tianji Continent.
Envoys from the Ji Empire, they want to see the three His Highnesses.
Please make a decision, Your Excellency."
"Envoy of the Tianji Empire" Wei Qiu looked at the fertile fields in the distance.
That was the direction of the Tianji Empire.
What the Tianji Empire, more than two thousand miles away, wanted to do was either start a war or negotiate a peace.
Could it be that they wanted to conclude an alliance by sending envoys?
Then he thought about it.
Thinking about it, Wei Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
How tyrannical the Tianji Empire is, how could there be any reason for a wolf pack to form an alliance with a flock of sheep?
"How many of them are there" "There are a dozen people in total.
One of them is wearing more luxurious clothes.
He should be an envoy."
"Hand over their weapons and equipment, and send two hundred gentian cavalry to escort them to the main hall."
"yes" An hour later, Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others were already in the Dongdu Hall.
Lin Muyu stood in front of the throne, pressing the handle of his sword, waiting with a smile.
"Ayu seems to be looking forward to this envoy."
Feng Jixing asked with a smile.
"Yes, at least from this envoy we can see some of the attitude of the royal family of the Tianji Empire towards us."
"Well, that's what I thought too."
Under the king's rank, there are many officials, including Zeng Yifan, Xiang Yu, Wei Chou, Baili Cang, Su Yu and others.
Even Luo Xin has come all the way from Yunzhong Province to dispatch and enfeoff the four princes.
After the Five Marquises, the military power of the Qin Empire was very concentrated.
At least it was no longer possible for Tang Lan and Su Muyun to refuse to send troops.
Soon after, the envoy was summoned.
He was a lean man with several followers, but his weapons had been removed.
"Zhou Xinyao, the envoy of the Tianji Province of the Tianji Empire, goes to His Highness King Qin, goes to His Highness King Xin, goes to His Highness King Zhong, goes to Princess Xi."
He was unhurried and could actually identify everyone one by one, which is enough to show that Tianji The empire's understanding of the Qin Empire was at least as good as its homework.
"You know us?"
Feng Jixing said coldly.
"No, it's just the first time to see the faces of the three His Highnesses."
"Then how do you recognize us?"
Zhou Xin smiled calmly: "It's very simple.
Your three highnesses are famous far and wide.

King Qin Lin Muyu is well versed in the power of all laws and has a handsome appearance.
King Xin Feng is calm and calm, and is well versed in the laws of wind, fire and thunder.
King Qin Yan The youngest among the three, Princess Tang Xiaoxi is extremely beautiful and can be called the most beautiful woman in the Broken Cauldron world.
How could I not recognize her?"
"What a sharp tongue."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "Zhou Xinyao, since you are the envoy of the Tianji Empire, please tell me your purpose of coming."
"As you command, Princess Xi."
Zhou Xin raised his head and ignored the gazes of a group of officials and generals from the Great Qin Empire around him.
He said: "The Tianji Empire is located in the northwest of Tianji Continent.
It has vast land and prosperous people's livelihood.
His Majesty the Shengwu Emperor Bei Mingyuan has long heard about Broken Cauldron.
The rich and powerful world continent, so they want to form an alliance to support and help each other.
Along the way, I visited several counties and cities and chambers of commerce in Lingdong Province.
I was deeply impressed by the prosperity of the Qin Empire.
Your country's brocade and silk weaving skills are so exquisite that they are out of this world.
Therefore, I Request to trade with your country and exchange the goods of our Tianji Empire with your country for brocade, silk fabrics, etc.”
Lin Muyu had long known that there was no silk in the Tianji Continent, and their brocade clothes were actually only equivalent to fine cloth from the Broken Cauldron Realm.
In terms of real luxury, I am afraid that a single brocade dress from Tang Xiaoxi would be enough to instantly kill all the concubines in the Tianji City Palace. of luxurious clothes.
"What do you want to exchange with us?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Zhou Xinyao smiled: "We have all the gold and silver.
If His Highness needs it, the beauties from our Tianji Empire can also be transported to the Broken Cauldron Realm.
Moreover, His Majesty said that as long as the Broken Cauldron Realm is sincere in doing business, he is willing to do so."
We will pay 30% of our business income from the coastal seaports in Suiding Realm as taxes.”
"Three percent" Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Is 30% enough?"
"Then, 40%."
Zhou Xinyao looked a little unhappy.
Lin Muyu raised her fingers and said, "That's 50%.
By the way, what other good things do you have besides money and women?"
"Demon spirit stone."
Zhou Xinyao said calmly.
"Demon Spirit Stone" Lin Muyu pretended to be suspicious.
Zhou Xin nodded with a smile: "Yes, the demon spirit stone is a kind of treasure that is very different from the spirit stones in your country.
The demon spirit stone is formed from the body of the demon spirit and can be tempered and absorbed by cultivators to absorb spiritual power.
Whether it is the Holy Realm or the Divine Realm, you can absorb the Demon Spirit Stone without limit, which can allow a talented genius to achieve a huge leap in power within a few years or even half a year. " "Are you really going to sell demon spirit stones to us?"
Feng Jixing asked.
"That's right."
Zhou Xin waved his hands and said with a smile: "But the demon spirit stones are too precious and rare, so they can only be traded between countries.
Every year, our Tianji Empire can sell 500 sixth-level demon stones.
The spirit stones and three thousand seventh-grade demon spirit stones are given to your country, and the prices are respectively 200,000 gold coins and 50,000 gold coins.
I don’t know what your three highnesses think."
"One hundred thousand gold coins" Lin Muyu squinted her eyes: "You might as well go and grab it.
Our gold coins are about 30% heavier than your country's gold coins, and they are made of pure gold.
The value of gold is the same.
I think this monster It doesn’t matter if you don’t want the spirit stone.

Come and see the guests off.”
A group of Gentian Camp soldiers stepped forward.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness King Qin" Zhou Xinyao said hurriedly: "Are you refusing to trade with us?
Trade is a major event for both countries.
Once Your Highness refuses, it may affect the future trade between the two countries.
Please think twice, Your Highness."
"You can do business if you want."
Lin Muyu smiled and said: "Go back and tell His Majesty Bei Mingyuan that your cargo ships need to pay 50% of the tax to the government of Lingdong Province after our port trade.
In addition, the cargo ships of Tianji Empire and Blackstone Empire If you can land trade at the three seaports in Lingdong Province: Cangfeng Port, Tianyin Port, and Baiyu Port, I will grant several routes to your country and the Blackstone Empire.
Your merchant ships can travel on this route.
Once they deviate from the route or land at other ports, they will be attacked by our imperial army.
In addition, all merchants from the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire can only stop in the port. , are not allowed to enter the inland, everyone must register as soon as possible after landing, otherwise they will be arrested.
Do you understand all this?"
Zhou Xinyao was startled, then took a deep look at Lin Muyu, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "King Qin Lin Muyu, the son of the King of Light Qin Jin, is indeed worthy of his reputation.
I bow to you."
He raised his head and said: "Then, everything will be done in these three major ports according to what His Highness King Qin said."
"We will draft a document detailing the trade rules."
Tang Xiaoxi said: "I also ask the envoy to rest for two or three days in the post house in Dongshuang City, and then go back to resume your duties after taking the document."
"Yes, I understand.
Thank you Princess Xi for your hospitality."
"Come here, take the envoy to the posthouse to rest."
Tang Xiaoxi gave the order, and several forbidden soldiers immediately stepped forward to ask Zhou Xinyao to leave.
Zhou Xin waved his indescribable poise and calmness, gently saluted everyone, and then left calmly.
When Zhou Xin walked away, everyone was in an uproar.
"This man has evil intentions, we have to be on guard," Xiang Yu said with squinted eyes: "He obviously has at least ten levels of divine cultivation, but he just hides his aura to the level of the heavenly realm, hum."
Lin Muyu said: "It's not the tenth level of the cave, but the twenty-one level of the cave."
"What" Luo Xin was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness Yu, he really has the twenty-first level of cultivation."
"Um."
Although Luo Xin has been practicing hard in the past few years, he has only entered the Holy Heaven Realm and cannot see Zhou Xinyao's true strength at all.
On the contrary, the stronger Lin Muyu can clearly understand Zhou Xinyao's suppressed power, from his breathing and His specific cultivation ability can be judged from the pulse of power.
Zeng Yifan held the jade wat in his hand and said calmly: "Your Highnesses, do you think the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire sincerely want to do business with us?"
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing shook their heads together.
Qin Yan, on the other hand, was not familiar with worldly affairs and stood there in a daze, talking about the city and making decisions.
He was much inferior to Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing.
"Fan Gong, what do you think about this matter?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Zeng Yifan took a deep breath: "It's very simple.
The Tianji Empire could have directly invaded with an army, but they didn't.
Instead, they went to a lot of trouble to send the envoy Zhou Xinyao.
There can only be two reasons.
First, The first reason is that maybe Zhou Xinyao's mission is fake, and it is true to find out the truth of our army.
The second reason is that they are stalling for time.
Zhou Xinyao's arrival is just to deceive others.
Maybe the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire are still I have other plans."
"Yes" Feng Jixing nodded.

Lin Muyu pressed the hilt of the sword with a ray of coldness in his eyes, and said: "Then let's stay the same to cope with the changes.
Send more scouts and warships into the East China Sea to keep abreast of the enemy's situation at all times, and then send people to keep an eye on Zhou Xin.
Shake, don't let him act rashly in Dongshuang City.
Besides, where is Baili Cang?"
Navy commander Baili Cang took a step forward: "The general will be here."
"How's the naval warship assembly going?"
Baili Cang said in a deep voice: "Two thousand warships and nearly one hundred thousand naval officers have been stationed in major military ports.
In addition, two hundred high-rise ships have arrived from Daojiang.
If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive in two days."
Able to reach the East Coast.”
"Well, okay.
Let's retreat from the court and go back to prepare for war."
Lin Muyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Ministry of Industry, Ziling, you stay
