When Liu Ruyan and Liu Mengli first heard Eunuch Li's words, they did think that Eunuch Li was flattering and praising Chu Fan excessively, but as Eunuch Li continued to talk about the series of actions and achievements made by Chu Fan, a strong desire gradually began to appear in their eyes, as if a hungry pervert suddenly saw a peerless beauty.
Although they had previously obtained some information about many of the things mentioned by Eunuch Li through various channels, the authenticity of the information could never be confirmed.
However, when this information came from the mouth of Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch beside Chu Fan, they were able to be sure of the authenticity of these things, because as Eunuch Li was Chu Fan's confidant, his words were undoubtedly highly credible.
This true information is extremely important to them in ruling the Canglan Empire. For example, Chu Fan developed a magical medicine that is said to be able to cure many diseases that even the imperial doctors cannot cure.
However, within the Canglan Empire, some leaders or family members of major forces have some strange diseases. If they can obtain this magical medicine and obtain the specific method to treat the disease.
When the time comes, they can bring the medicine back to the Canglan Empire and use the opportunity to cure the strange disease of the person in charge or his family in exchange to gain the other party's strong support and help. This will undoubtedly be a huge help for them to consolidate and expand their influence in the Canglan Empire.
Liu Ruyan spoke in a polite and humble tone, "Your Majesty, I offer my sincerest apologies for my disrespectful behavior just now. I firmly believe that there is still great potential for cooperation between us, and I hope to discuss the possibility of further cooperation."
At this moment, Chu Fan saw the looks in the eyes of Liu Ruyan and the other person, and he realized that the situation might be a little bad.
Chu Fan had initially optimistically believed that since Liu Ruyan and her group from the Canglan Empire had decided to come to Wei to seek cooperation with him, they must have made thorough preparations and formulated a thorough plan. However, he had never expected that they would resort to such tactics, subtly leading him to reveal a large amount of valuable information.
In fact, this information is not highly confidential, because it is no longer a secret in Kaifeng City, and almost everyone can get a general outline of this information by asking.
Perhaps Liu Ruyan and her companions were not entirely sure about this before, until they received direct confirmation from Eunuch Li, which established the authenticity of this information in their minds.
However, Chu Fan himself was extremely unhappy because he was deceived by such a cunning trick. He had always been highly alert and vigilant, but he never expected that Eunuch Li would fall into the trap of their carefully designed provocation in order to maintain his dignity and face.
Eunuch Li knelt before Chu Fan and said, "I deserve death. Your Majesty, please punish me."
Chu Fan took a deep breath and said coldly: "Get up, this is not your fault."
Chu Fan didn't blame Eunuch Li because these things were essentially public knowledge, and most residents of Kaifeng City had heard of these secrets. Furthermore, he knew that the more benefits the Canglan Empire gained from him, the greater the price they would have to pay in the future.
Chu Fan deliberately acted very embarrassed at this moment, and said slowly: "Miss Liu, since we have reached a consensus on the details of the cooperation, and our Wei State has made many concessions, if we go further, I am afraid that the court officials at home will be dissatisfied.
However, given your country's demonstrated sincerity, I can first listen to your specific requirements and then discuss further."
Liu Mengli seemed to turn a deaf ear to Chu Fan's words. She quietly waited for Liu Ruyan to make the final decision. After all, no matter what choice Liu Ruyan made, it was her personal negotiation with the State of Wei and had no direct connection with Liu Mengli herself.
If any problems really arise in the future, she can completely shift the blame to Liu Ruyan, and she will still be the simple and kind Queen Canglan.
At this time, Liu Ruyan politely but firmly requested, "Your Majesty, we hope to purchase the formulas for those precious miraculous medicines, the formulas for those advanced building materials that will lead new trends in the construction field, and the new grain seeds that will bring about an agricultural revolution."
Chu Fan mercilessly questioned Liu Ruyan, "Miss Liu, are you too naive? Everything you seek is a key technology that can completely change the fate of an entire country. If these precious formulas and seeds were leaked, it could trigger a series of unpredictable and serious consequences."
Chu Fan stared fiercely at Liu Ruyan and said, "If these formulas and seeds were truly handed over to you, Liu Ruyan, who can guarantee that you wouldn't sell them to people from other countries, or even use them against our Wei State? Do you think I've been bewitched by your women and would easily agree to any conditions?"
Facing Chu Fan's questioning, Liu Ruyan maintained a smile. She calmly responded, "Your Majesty, I am of course fully aware of the value of these items. But as you just said, negotiation is a process of asking for a high price and then paying it back. Has Your Majesty forgotten what you just said?"
When Chu Fan heard Liu Ruyan refute her own words, he was speechless for a moment. However, Chu Fan quickly regained his composure and said in a low but firm voice, "Miss Liu, if you have any requests, please speak directly."
Chu Fan was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. He was the one who teased them first, so it was reasonable that Liu Ruyan would outmaneuver him.
Liu Ruyan said with a determined look, "I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Wei will allow me to purchase a large quantity of these specific items in Wei. I promise not to sell these items to any third party that may pose a threat to Wei."
At this time, Liu Ruyan no longer insisted on the formula and planting method. She only needed the authority to purchase these specific items and ensure that she would not endanger the security of Wei State.
Chu Fan felt the situation was becoming increasingly interesting after hearing Liu Ruyan's words. Now, Liu Ruyan was referring to "I" instead of "our Canglan Empire." This indicated that this woman seemed to be leaving a way out for herself. She seemed to be planning something, and this plan might involve her personal interests.
