Chapter 239 Friendship Will Last Forever
Qingjuan City is not only the imperial capital of Jingguo, but also the largest city in Jingguo's urban area. According to Lu Chuan's rough visual estimation, the core urban area alone is about the size of four Dingxi cities.

Emperor Jing's palace was built on the ruins of the Temple of God in the center of the twelve pillars reaching the sky. The outer wall of the entire palace was circular to enclose the palace. Twelve pillars made of special materials were embedded in the outer wall, as if imitating The twelve pillars reaching the sky on the outskirts of the city.

People in Jingguo seem to like circles very much, and they also like the number twelve.

If you look down from a high altitude, Qingjuan City is a circle surrounded by twelve Tongtian pillars. Inside the Tongtian pillars and outside the palace, it is divided into twelve areas. In the history of Jingguo, there are also ten ancient families. two.

The best of the twelve families are the core of Jing Guo's ruling hierarchy. For example, Jing Guo's Prime Minister Chu Qinghuan, Marshal Xia Wujiang, and the ministers of each ministry are basically from the twelve families.

After hundreds of years of in-law marriage, the twelve families and the Jing family formed a close relationship. The twelve families share the Tongtian Pillar, and the Jing family sits in the Temple of God. This has been the case since the founding of the Jing Kingdom.

An outsider like Zhao Wuya, even with Jing Congyun's family members, is often an outsider in Jingguo's political arena.

Eight years ago, the soldiers of the Jing Kingdom defeated Yangguan, Emperor Jing and Jing Yao died in battle. When the Lord Shaoguo was in doubt, the two families headed by the Xia family Xia Wujiang and the Chu family Chu Qinghuan stood up and united with them. The six families of the family publicly expressed their support for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, suppressing all the chaotic voices in the country.

Eight years later, Jing Guodong left Weiguo, broke through the town of Beiguan in the south, forced Wuguo to use the spirit of his ancestors in the sky to save the defeat, and this young emperor who turned the tide and helped the building to collapse, there are three more... Genius turned 22 years old.

Lu Chuan only met Jing Congyun briefly. At that time, Lu Chuan and others had just withdrawn from Beining City, and when they suddenly met Jing Congyun, he still labeled him "the emperor of the enemy country" in his heart.

At that time, Lu Chuan was pure and transparent, but Jing Congyun was able to call out Lu Chuan's name that day, and even greeted him before leaving. This incident made Lu Chuan very memorable.

At this moment, Jing Congyun, who was wearing a crown suit and sitting on the throne thinking, saw Jiao Beichuan bringing the mission in, and a long-awaited smile immediately appeared on his face.

This is a very formal meeting, and Utopia sent a mission headed by the foreign minister, which is already quite high standard.

The importance shown by Jing Guo is also moving. Not only the emperor Jing Congyun personally met, but also the Prime Minister Chu Qinghuan, Marshal Xia Wujiang, and the four ministers and related officials except the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War. Showed the greatest importance to utopia.

The meeting actually had nothing to do with Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan was clear about what he was going to exchange this time, but he didn't need to express any opinions. He just mixed in with the crowd and put on a show, occasionally slipping away to observe the palace secretly.

Lu Chuan has heard many people talk about the extreme luxury of the original stone walls of Wuguo's palace, and he has personally visited Wudingzhai, an ordinary sect handed down in Wuguo. Compared with what he has seen and heard, Jingguo's palace looks like There are only majestic buildings, but few colorful treasures for decoration.

Lu Chuan has also heard that Jing Congyun is not good at women. He was only 14 years old when he ascended the throne. Although he also made marriages with various families that supported him and took in some concubines, apart from these political marriages, Jing Congyun And never took the initiative to expand the harem.

The most important thing is that Jing Congyun has not had any heirs since he ascended the throne for eight years. It stands to reason that his strength is not yet extraordinary, which is a very suitable age for childbearing. Although there is no concept of a feudal dynasty in this world, Jing Congyun, as an emperor, The lack of heirs is also a factor that may shake the foundation of the country for temples.

The conversation between Jiao Beichuan and Jing Congyun went very smoothly. Utopia intends to deepen its cooperation with Jing Guo. On the one hand, it is to maintain pressure on Wu Guo. The main purpose is to prevent Jing Guo from intervening when it attacks Yao Guo later. .

The conditions for Utopia to be placed on the table are to open the policy of studying abroad with a limited number of places under the unified examination, to build an international airport in Qingjuan City, and to help Jingguo train several batches of pilots, and to have a deeper trade cooperation relationship with Jingguo, such as establishing a joint venture for food , garment factories, etc.

Naturally, these conditions, which are obviously beneficial to Jingguo, were not provided in vain. Utopia’s requirement was a large number of raw material import orders that lasted for many years, including food, medicinal materials, minerals, and so on.

If it was just such a condition, Jingguo would naturally readily agree, but Utopia also hoped to open a bank branch in Jingguo that could provide users with recharge, and the atmosphere of enthusiastic communication between the two parties cooled down a bit.

"Recently, we have received a lot of feedback from Jingguo mobile phone users, and many of them expressed their hope that we can also provide them with Yuanshi recharge service in Jingguo.

Of course, we also hope to provide convenience to Jingguo users. If they have to go to Utopia, or have friends from Utopia recharge on their behalf to experience the full function, it actually violates our concept of designing this function. "

Jiao Beichuan found a very good reason. It is the people of your country who want us to open a bank branch. We are here to respond to your call and bring you convenience. You should welcome it and even express your gratitude.

But King Jing and his ministers have discussed this matter for a long time. Opening an outlet in Jing Guo that can be recharged is equivalent to opening a channel for the outflow of assets. For Jing Guo today, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

"Minister Jiao, I'm afraid we both need to discuss this matter openly and carefully. The way your country sells exercises, books and other documents to our people through mobile phones may also be regarded as part of the trade between the two countries.

We are very grateful for this convenient service provided by your country, but since it is trade, there will still be a problem of commercial tax and tariff, I think we should pay attention to it. "

Jingguo's Minister of the Ministry of Households blocked the words without being soft or hard. The goal he pointed at was not the issue of tax collection, but the issue of Utopia's never plan to disclose the data.

How many mobile phone users there are in Jingguo, how many primordial stones they have recharged in Utopia, and how many exercise books they have bought, all of these are unknown to the court of Jingguo, so taxation has become a joke.

If Utopia says that this data can be provided, then they will take advantage of the trend and propose that the data may not be credible and require supervision.

"If your country wants to define the behavior of knowledge sharing as trade, please forgive Utopia for not agreeing with it. In fact, we have not sold exercise books to users, and users have not really obtained the ownership of exercises. How can this be called trade?
If we must define it, we actually prefer to define this relationship as knowledge sharing and reward. "

Jiao Beichuan talked nonsense with a smile on his face, and secretly glanced at Lu Chuan.

Young people still have a lot of bad ideas, but they actually came up with such a shameless concept of stealing.

"Uncle Jiao, let's stay and have a light meal together at noon. Every time you come and go in a hurry, you don't give me a chance to entertain you. It's rare to come a few days earlier like this time."

The two sides had reached a stalemate on the issue of the bank, and it was impossible for such an important negotiation to be finalized in a short period of time. Jing Congyun simply announced the suspension of the talks, and Jiao Beichuan's address was changed from the official Minister Jiao to the private one. Uncle Jiao.

"You don't have any easy food here, so you don't need to mobilize the crowd. We talked about so many things in the morning, and we have to go back and discuss it again, and we have to report to the family. We can eat at any time, let's choose another day."

Jiao Beichuan was quite used to Jing Congyun's hospitality, so he politely declined the other party's invitation.

"Don't worry, it's not troublesome at all. I've already had someone prepare it. You come here often. Aren't other uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters coming here for the first time? I have to be taken care of by everyone in Utopia every year. Now Come to my house, how can you not show the friendship of the landlord?"

Jing Congyun greeted the court lady without any explanation, and led everyone to Zhaoyang Hall. He had already arranged for the imperial chef to prepare a banquet for the guests from Utopia.

Jiao Beichuan's resignation just now was meant to be polite. The purpose of this trip to Jingguo was to deepen the relationship between the two countries. Since Jing Congyun had really prepared, he took everyone with Jingguo's monarch and ministers to the Zhaoyang Palace for a banquet.

Zhaoyang Hall is a hall specially used for banquets in the Jingguo Palace, but it is the first time that it is used to entertain foreign envoys.

The banquet prepared by Jing Guo today is one person, one case. After entering the Zhaoyang Hall, everyone took their seats following the guidance of the maid.

Jing Congyun took a small hammer and tapped the small cauldron in front of him, and then there was a long line of court ladies, dragging a food plate filled with vitality, strolling gracefully from the outside of the hall, picking up the steps to enter the hall.

The maids didn't all leave after serving the dishes. Every table left a maid kneeling and sitting aside. Jing Congyun stood up, filled his wine bottle with immortal wine, raised his glass and said:

"I still remember that when I first came to Utopia, I was only 15 years old. At that time, Jingguo was newly defeated, and it was a time of internal and external troubles. However, all uncles and aunts never looked down on me because I was young, and Utopia never gave up because of Jingguo. The country is small and arrogant.

Studying in Utopia these years is one of the few times when I feel relaxed and happy. Uncle Ning’s sincere teaching to me is an unforgettable memory in my life. Sometimes I really wish that I am not the emperor of Jingguo, but just the scenery who came to Utopia to study. from cloud.

Today, all uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, on behalf of Utopia, came to Jingguo from far away to be a guest. I, Jing Congyun, represent myself and Jingguo. , can last forever. "

Jing Congyun would never call people in Utopia lonely in any private occasion. Elders are uncles and aunts, and peers are brothers and sisters. They are very affectionate.

Seeing his sincere face, Lu Chuan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Film king, this is, he arranged to assassinate Utopia's caravan in Wu Kingdom on the front foot, and has a long-lasting friendship with Utopia on the back foot, tsk tsk tsk.

Like everyone else, Lu Chuan raised his glass and drank all the wine. Although he knew that Jing Congyun's sincerity was all hypocrisy, isn't everyone on the stage?

As soon as he sat down, the court lady who was kneeling on one side took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Lu Chuan's mouth sideways. Lu Chuan was about to make a stress avoidance action, but managed to control his body abruptly.

After the maid wiped the corners of Lu Chuan's mouth, she began to prepare the food. There are many banquet rules in the Jingguo Palace. For a table of dishes, what to eat first and what to eat next are all particular.

It's just that Lu Chuan always feels that the movements of the maids around him are not very skilled in serving dishes, and they always seem to be a few beats slower than the maids on other tables.

After Jing Congyun finished his speech, he didn't stay in the main seat, but stood up with a drink and walked down from table to table to chat, clinking glasses with Jiao Beichuan, Jin Nanzhou, Yu Huan and other uncles and aunts. Then he walked straight towards Lu Chuan.

"This should be the second time we have met, Lu Chuan, welcome to Jingguo." Jing Congyun came to Lu Chuan, and just as Lu Chuan was about to stand up, Jing Congyun stretched out his hand and pressed twice, indicating that he didn't need to stand up , and then sat down opposite Lu Chuan himself. "Is today's food still to your taste?"

"Thank you very much for your hospitality. The food and drinks are rich and delicious." Lu Chuan couldn't figure out the emperor's way, so he could only reply politely.

"Just like it." Jing Congyun said with a smile, "I stay in Utopia for a period of time every year, and I'm pretty familiar with everyone else, but you, Lu Chuan, only came to Utopia a while ago, and we haven't gotten to know each other well.

It just so happens that you have the opportunity to come to Jingguo with the mission this time. I hope we can get to know each other better during this time. "

Jing Congyun started pouring wine into the glass as he spoke, but before Lu Chuan said anything, the maid beside him also started pouring wine into his glass, and it was filled up soon.

Lu Chuan didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to get too close to a dangerous person like Jing Congyun. If the answer was good, Jing Congyun might beat a snake and follow him with a stick. It's hard to refuse if you make an appointment with him. Yes, but if the answer is not good, it will be a little strange. The other party will pay every detail, and I will reject people thousands of miles away. There must be a reason.

So Lu Chuan didn't answer anything at all, just raised his glass and touched Jing Congyun, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Jing Congyun glanced at Lu Chuan with a smile, then took his leave and went to the next table. Lu Chuan waited for him to walk a few steps away before relaxing a little, while the little maid beside him took out her handkerchief again and wanted to come over. Wipe his mouth.

The wine brought out for the banquet in the palace is of course not ordinary. Lu Chuan drank two big bottles in a short time, and couldn't bear it for a while, so he quickly took out the rescue pill from the storage ring and threw a few into his mouth.

Just when he closed his eyes and kneaded his brows and wanted to relax a bit, he suddenly saw the little maid next to him in his spiritual vision. She was actually a monk, but only in the Spiritual Realm.

But the strange thing is that there is a maid at every table in Zhaoyang Palace, it seems that only the maid next to him is a monk, while the other maids are ordinary people.

Ok?What does it mean?Was it intentional?A little weak chicken in the Spirit Realm, whose strength is weaker than mine, wouldn't be here to assassinate me, would he?
Lu Chuan opened his eyes, only to see the little maid in front of him looking at him curiously, startled by Lu Chuan who suddenly opened his eyes, and turned his head in a panic.
