Chapter 1948 Family affairs?
When they saw him, although the sunlight in the hall dimmed, the eyes of Omri and others who were standing behind the special envoy Nadab lit up.
Zhu Feng walked forward holding the map and saluted Ye Zheng.
"grown ups."
Ye Zheng leaned to the side uncomfortably, coughed lightly, and then said, "Show the special envoy the map I've marked."
Zhu Feng replied, "Yes."
After saying this, he turned around with the map in his hand and walked up to Nadab and the others.
He presented the map with both hands.
"Special Envoy, please look."
Omri hurried forward to take the map, looked at him again, and said with a smile, "The situation was urgent yesterday. Fortunately, this guard responded quickly, otherwise we might have been harmed. Thank you very much."
Zhu Feng said: "It's my duty."
"I heard that His Excellency was injured."
"It's just a minor injury."
"I hope you take care and rest well."
Zhu Feng looked up at him, only to see that the other person was concerned, and his smile seemed particularly sincere.
But Zhu Feng's face remained cold and indifferent.
"Thank you very much."
Then he handed over the map, and Omri took it and spread it out on the table in front of Nadab.
The map was the same one from yesterday, but with two cities marked on it.
Ye Zheng stretched his neck to take a look.
It's not his fault for doing this, because there were too many things going on last night. He didn't have time to look at the map carefully, and he didn't even have time to go to Zhu Feng's room to ask what he planned to do with it. He just asked someone to send the map to Zhu Feng's room, and then he went to do other things.
I came here early this morning to meet the special envoy.
This map was the result of Zhu Feng's thinking alone for a whole night.
After taking a look, he felt a sense of empathy.
Then he coughed lightly and said, "A special envoy, please take a look. I was up all night last night, thinking about it all night, and I can only temporarily open ports for trade in these two cities. As for the rest, you need to return to the court and give the map to the emperor first, and ask him to make the final decision."
As he said this, he glanced at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng stood aside, glanced at him coldly, and said nothing, while Ye Zheng's lips curled up into a slight smile.
"this--"
When Nada saw the map, his brows furrowed slightly.
Their original plan was to open ports for trade in at least four cities during this mission.
Since the current emperor of Yan State ascended the throne, he began to promote foreign exchanges. The beautiful artifacts from the East began to circulate again in their western countries, and even flowed to the farther west.
Those beautiful silks and exquisite porcelains were in short supply.
If ordinary porcelain can be sold for ten gold coins in their city, then the price can be at least ten times higher, or even dozens of times higher, if it is shipped to the West.
Greed is human nature.
Even if they did not covet these treasures, even in their own country, the years of isolation of Yan State had led to an increasing demand for porcelain, silk and other items.
They need Yan Country to open its borders!
So he said, "Sir, aren't two cities too few?"
“…”
"If we can add two or three more, that would be great."
“…”
"If it's just these two cities, it will be difficult for us to go back and explain."
“…”
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the other party has a big appetite.
However, this matter is not negotiable. After all, the cities above were selected by Zhu Feng himself, which means there is no need to go back and discuss it.
So he smiled and said, "Special Envoy, you have come from afar this time and made three requests as soon as we met. We have already fulfilled one of them and directly agreed to one of them. We have also reached a deal with you on the other one."
“…”
"According to this calculation, your country has already made a profit."
"Can--"
"Besides,"
He interrupted Nadab and said with a smile, "Special Envoy, I have already made the decision on my own initiative by selecting these two cities. If I add any more, I will be unable to explain myself when I return."
“…”
"Are you trying to embarrass me?"
Although he spoke with a smile and in a very calm tone, his words were flawless and blocked the other party's words.
Nadab and the others wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to start.
Only then did I realize that although Lord Ye did not look scary, he was actually a tough guy and was not someone to be trifled with.
They spent nearly half a day on this matter.
But in the end, Ye Zheng did not agree to them, and in the end, Nada and the others had no choice but to accept this reality.
By the time we finally decided on this matter, it was already afternoon.
Ye Zheng knew that if it were before, Zhu Feng would have been eager to say goodbye to the special envoy and rush back to the Duwei Mansion, but now, he was injured and the wound had not yet healed completely, so he was not in a hurry to go back and scare the pregnant woman.
Then he said, "Since we have already agreed, then - I have prepared a banquet over there. You may as well move over there. It will be considered as letting me fulfill my hospitality."
Nada and the others looked at each other.
In fact, this time, the order they received from the king was to go and come back quickly.
After all, news is important.
However, since they had already been delayed for a whole day, they didn't mind wasting half a day, so they agreed, and everyone stood up and walked to the other side together.
Although there was a fire here yesterday, only this part of the courtyard was greatly affected. The other side of the Lianxin Hall was still intact. There were fine wines and delicious food in the open pavilion. As soon as you walked in, you could smell the rich aroma.
After the host and the guest are seated, they begin to chat and drink with each other.
After a while, dusk fell.
Although the incident happened last night, the meeting went smoothly because it was handled promptly and there was no blame or hostility on either side. The atmosphere at the banquet was also very good.
Everyone was a little drunk.
However, Ye Zheng remained sober from beginning to end, and Zhu Feng behind him did not drink a drop of alcohol. He just held the long sword at his waist and quietly performed his duties as a guard.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
When I looked up, I saw a personal soldier running in hurriedly.
He walked directly to Ye Zheng's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Ye Zheng's eyes immediately widened: "What?"
Seeing this, Nadab asked, "Sir, what's going on?"
They are still frightened by what happened last night.
Ye Zheng immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I have a little, a little, family matter."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Everyone was stunned.
Ye Zheng said, "Everyone, please sit down first. I will be back soon."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, and the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion, especially Zhu Feng and Ying Shao, who were even more confused.
Housework?
What family affairs did he have that could cause such a disturbance?
