Evil Horse Country?

Xia Fan shook his right hand and pinched the copper wire in his sleeve pocket

to his fingertips. As long as the opponent has any changes, his streamer can

immediately pull out a barrier formed by an arc in front of him.

"Are you behind the scenes of Gaoshan County?"

"Instigate?" May Yao was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head quickly,

"Your Excellency may have misunderstood. Although Xiema and Dongsheng share

the same origin, they do not ask for the same thing."

Where is Dongsheng Country? Xia Fan found that he was a little unable to turn

around, "You mean...you have more than one country?"

"Dongsheng is a pseudo-state that rebelled against the princes and established

itself as a king. It is not the same as evil horses!" The man couldn't help

but interject.

Wu Yueyao did not agree, "Which kingdom did not evolve step by step from small

to large? It is rumored that evil horses were just a small tribe hundreds of

years ago."

"Master May!" the other party anxiously said.

"When I say this, it doesn't mean that I intend to give up resistance-

Dongsheng Kingdom's behavior is vicious and vicious, and it does everything at

its best. My people are reduced to slaves. Anyone who violates it will be

massacred. I will not let it go. They swallow the evil horse." At this point,

she bowed her head slightly, "I hope that your country can look at the

covenant and help the evil horse. Both I and Guoji will be grateful."

This amount of information is a bit big.

Xia Fan pondered, if what the other party said is true, then it is obvious

that in a hundred years, not only the eternal country has undergone earth-

shaking changes, but also the opposite of the sea is almost the same, so that

once the long-term contact is restored, the first thing that will be brought

there is Information for help.

He looked carefully at May. She looks a bit younger than Ning Wanjun. Her hair

is a rare gray-brown. She does not have a crown or a bun on the top of her

head, and her hair is folded back into thin. A long bunch with a blue

headband, this dressing style is indeed quite different from Qiguo.

The biggest difference between and ordinary people is that she does not have

black eyes and pupils, but the bottom circle is bluish, like a bay on a sunny

day.

This kind of alien appearance is indeed convincing.

is just sea traffic that has been silent for such a long time, now it has

quietly recovered? Xia Fan felt a little strange how he thought about it.

Whether it was Xiema or Dongsheng, there was always trade demand, right?

What's more, Qiguo also has many well-informed wealthy merchants. If there is

an additional navigable trade partner, they will not be unresponsive.

No...This is not the most important question.

The key is, why didn’t the other party find the government, but wanted him to

introduce him?

After thinking for a while, Xia Fan decided to touch the other party's details

before saying, "I do have an intersection with Princess Guangping, but it's

not so good that you can see it. If you want to see her, this reason may not

work."

"Why?"

He picks up a slice of fish fillet, dips a little sauce into his mouth. "As

you can see, Yongguo no longer exists. The so-called Hundred-Year Covenant

should be a matter of the previous dynasty. If you come as an envoy, you

should also issue an official document to the local government office and wait

for the Ministry of Rites to reply. What's more, you need to use swords to

assist foreign countries. You don't think Princess Quang Binh can do it

alone?"

"I tried, but I never got a reply. I think... Maybe Dongsheng Kingdom has

infiltrated your government office." May Harao breathed a sigh of relief

again, "I also know that sending aid is difficult to achieve, so I only ask

your country to block the private salt trade with Dongsheng, so that evil

horses can relieve some pressure."

"What did you say?" Xia Fan was surprised, "Selling salt?"

"Yes, our country is above the sea, the terrain is long and narrow, and the

salt resources are extremely scarce. Therefore, the one who occupies the salt

production area has the advantage. It is through buying a large amount of salt

from the land of the mainland that Dongsheng can buy other princes to win the

battlefield. Encircle and suppress the warriors of our country, and win them

by number."

Xia Fan's mind flashed like a bolt from the blue sky!

The Wang family is actually selling salt to foreign countries!

The fragmented information before was all pieced together by this clue.

Since he treats such an important resource as the object of the transaction,

the things that can be exchanged may not only be money. There are emotional

monks who resemble ninjas in the prefect of Gaoshan County, and they should be

inseparable from the Wang family. If the murder Li witnessed was also

instigated by the Wang family, then the answer to where the people who died in

the Houshan Grottoes in Gaoshan County came from is faint.

As the designated salt merchant of Jinxia City, he really has the ability to

deal with privately burning salt and salt sellers. For those prisoners who

have been sentenced to death, it is not difficult for them to change their

way. Go to death-after all, no one cares about the final fate of these

criminals. And the organs in the grottoes can not only handle the corpses, but

also please the Privy Council, which undoubtedly kills two birds with one

stone.

It can be said that in this evil case, none of the Shenzhou officialdom, the

Jinxia salt merchants, and the Jinxia Privy Council are innocent roles.

Everyone got a slice of it.

And the common people who died because of evil, it was that little "price".

Xia Fan took a deep breath.

Reminiscent of Zhuzhi County 20 years ago, maybe the situation is even worse.

"Is there anything that can prove your identity?"

Mayyao slowly passed a piece of old leather paper.

Xia Fan spread it out and found that the writing on it was jerky and

distorted—ancient writing used by Yongguo again.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people to think of using this kind of

text to falsify ~www.mtlnovel.com~, considering the degree of insurance, only

the translation can be regarded as a reliable proof.

"I can arrange a meeting for you." Xia Fan raised his head, "but I have to

wait until this covenant is verified."

"Verify...what?"

"Of course it is the content above, you don't think anyone can understand it,

right?"

"Why... will it?" Maye said intermittently, "Isn't this the secret language

your alchemist... used to?"

The former alchemist still needs to learn one more language? Luo Qing didn't

even mention this information. Xia Fan said calmly, "Perhaps it has nothing to

do with practicing alchemy, so it's cancelled. After all, this is a hundred

years ago."

"How long does it take to verify?"

Her voice is getting lower and lower.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xia Fan noticed that the other party's face was ruddy and

something was not right.

Following his question, May shook twice and tilted to one side.

"Master May, Master Miko!" The man next to her hurriedly supported her,

shouting anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Xia Fan frowned.

"Master May was infected with a cold in the early days, and has not recovered,

and his body is almost unable to hold it!"

He got up and walked to the opponent's side, ran his hand and touched it, and

found that the opponent's forehead was boiling hot.

"She must receive treatment as soon as possible."

"But we lost all our entanglements while crossing the sea, and--" the man

hesitated, "and you have always killed aliens."

Alien?

Xia Fan was startled, and reached out his hand to lift the opponent's hood.

A pair of short pointed ears appeared in front of him.
