While they were talking, Nong Yu happened to push the door open and heard Yan Yan's words.

"Do you know who my parents are?" Nong Yu asked eagerly.

"Put away your Fire Rain Agate!" Yan Yan looked at the Fire Rain Agate hanging on Nongyu's waist and said seriously.

"Do you recognize this thing?" Zi Nu was also surprised.

They only knew that this thing was agate, which was very precious, but the name was not clear.

After all, although agate is precious, not all agate can have its own name.

"You will know in the future!" Yan Yan did not intend to say more.

The main reason is that he now has no time or energy to help Nong Yu find her biological father, the former Korean left Sima Li Kai.

And Han Fei should be back soon, and the mystery will be solved sooner or later.

After completing the material transaction agreements with the big merchants from various countries in the Central Plains, Yan Yan quietly left Xinzheng with Shao Siming and others.

This time they did not borrow the Mo family's Suzaku to return to Yunzhong, but chose a carriage because there were too many things to bring back, and many merchants also followed them to Yunzhong.

Therefore, after leaving Xinzheng, the group drove the caravan supplies slowly towards the north.

While passing by Shangdang, Yan Yan met Yang Duanhe again.

The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!

Yang Duanhe naturally didn't have a good face. You must know that when he was in Daliang, he cheated Yan Yan, and Yan Yan sent Dianqing back that night to take revenge. Give him that beating!

"The king and Prime Minister Lu want to see you!" Yang Duanhe said angrily, but he did not forget his responsibilities.

"King Qin and Prime Minister Lu are in Shangdang?" Yan Yan was surprised.

"Well, your Majesty and Prime Minister Lu have already held a banquet in the city waiting for you, sir!" Yang Duanhe signaled to Yan Yan that he could get in the car.

Yan Yan looked at the chariot driven by Yang Duanhe hesitantly, thinking that Yang Duanhe must be holding back something bad, but still got on the chariot.

"Sit tight!" Yang Duanhe pushed the driver aside and held the bridle himself to drive Yan Yan.

Yan Yan also instantly understood what Yang Duanhe wanted to do. He wanted to speed up his car and make him vomit!

"Please!" Yan Yan didn't panic at all and looked at Yang Duanhe provocatively. When it came to driving a chariot, he had never been intimidated by anyone!

"Drive~" Yang Duanhe waited for Yan Yan to get on the station and then drove everyone else off the chariot and suddenly started galloping.

Instead of returning directly to Shangdang County City, he made a circuit outside the county city.

"That's it?" The wind whistled by his ears, Yan Yan kept smiling and mocked, grabbing the mast of the chariot.

Yang Duanhe frowned, this was a little different from what he thought. He had already driven the chariot to the top speed, but the other party could act like a normal person!

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Yan Yan grabbed the reins from Yang Duanhe's hand and drove Yang Duanhe aside.

"Drive~" Yan Yan drove the chariot himself, and deliberately crossed pits and ditches. The chariot was bumpy and deflected at various speeds, and half of the wheels flew off the ground.

"Damn it, do you know how to do it?" Yang Duanhe was really panicked. Half of the wheels flew up. If he made a mistake, the car would be destroyed and people would be injured.

"Hold on and stand firm, I'll drive steadily!" Yan Yan ignored Yang Duanhe's words and drove the chariot through various drifts and turns, finally stopping in front of the gate of Shangdang County City.

"You~wow~" Yang Duanhe wanted to say something else, but as soon as you said the words, he rushed directly to the city gate, held the wall and vomited.

"Rookie!" Yan Yan said contemptuously, and stepped out of the chariot smoothly.

Shao Siming and others were already waiting at the gate of the city. But seeing Yang Duanhe's miserable condition, Shao Siming shook his head sympathetically. What's wrong with playing with him? Why bother to play with him in a flying car?

"Please!" Yang Duanhe, who had calmed down for a while, came back with a sallow face. Just looking at the bronze chariot, he subconsciously felt fear. If I sit in a chariot again in the future, I will be like a dog!

Yan Yan nodded and asked Yang Duanhe to lead the way towards the Sheriff's Mansion.

He was not surprised when Lu Buwei met him after Ying Zheng. What was surprising was that he would be in Shangdang!

His agreement with Qin and the opening of the border trade required detailed negotiations, so they would have to meet sooner or later.

Yan Yan is also very curious about Lu Buwei.

In fact, what Yan Yan is more confused about is why so many people in later generations don't have much respect or favor for Lu Buwei.

According to his current understanding of Lu Buwei, this is a very scary person, and he is also one of the few names and figures in China for thousands of years. It can even be said that Lu Buwei's teachings are indispensable for Ying Zheng to grow into an emperor through the ages.

From a merchant, he supported Zichu to become the king of Qin, and then helped Zichu destroy the Zhou Dynasty, leaving the world in a state of ownerlessness and accelerating the process of annexation by princes.

He has also been doing his best to help Ying Zheng consolidate his base, defeat the two alliances between Lord Xinling and Pang Nuan, put down the rebellion of Cheng Xi, and put down the civil strife of Lao Ai.

Such achievements would be considered worthy of a prime minister in any era!

What made Yan Yan admire Lu Buwei the most was that Lu Buwei opened a family by himself, and hundreds of schools of thought also had a miscellaneous family after Lu Buwei!

Picking up the goodness of Confucianism and Mohism, summarizing the essentials of fame and law, taking Tao as the foundation, drawing on the strengths of other schools, and forming a unique family!

This is not what Yan Yan is most interested in Lu Buwei. What makes Yan Yan most curious is that Lu Buwei is probably the first person to see the shortcomings of Qin's military merit and find ways to solve it!

The national policy that Lu Buwei left to Ying Zheng after he dismissed the prime minister was the study of Huang Lao, to recuperate and restore people's livelihood.

It's a pity that they were all abandoned by Ying Zheng!

Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng were also very curious about Yan Yan.

Therefore, when the three people met at the Sheriff's Mansion, they each looked at each other. "Please take off your sword!" The armored guard stepped forward and asked Yan Yan to take Long Yuan's hand.

"Get down!" Ying Zheng frowned, is he so blind?

Yan Yan looked at Ying Zheng for a while, and then at Lu Buwei. Ying Zheng was really tall, a head and a half taller than Lu Buwei, and his appearance was not similar to Lu Buwei's.

"The appearance of King Wu!" Yan Yan was a little surprised.

There is a portrait of King Wu of Qin in Yushan Academy. Judging from Ying Zheng's figure and physique, he looks more like his grandfather, King Wu of Qin!

"Sir, you are not the first to say this!" Ying Zheng smiled heartily.

In Qin State, many elders of the clan said that he looked like King Wu of Qin, although he had never met King Wu.

Lu Buwei was also looking at Yan Yan, and at the same time he was wary of Yan Yan's words.

His intelligence was not limited, and he had found out almost everything about Yan Yan's past. Therefore, it was clear that Yan Yan was extremely good at studying the mind, and his talent for confusing people with his words was full.

Until Yan Yan's first words were to praise Ying Zheng's appearance as similar to King Wu of Qin, Lu Buwei even more agreed with the disciple's analysis. This guy's mental skills are not just for boasting!

Just one word can make Ying Zheng relax his guard. This ability is terrifying!

"As a late scholar, Shudong has met Mr. Xiangguo!" Yan Yan turned his head and saluted Lu Buwei.

"I've heard about Mr. Mister's name for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to meet him today. He's well-deserved!" Lu Buwei also saluted gently.

After a while of greetings, the three guests and host sat down.

But Yan Yan kept wondering if there was something wrong with Zhang Liang's eyesight. With Ying Zheng's height and improvement, why could he accidentally hit the passenger car in Bolangsha!

As long as you are not blind, you will never attack the wrong target!

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei were also sighing. They had both sent people to recruit Yan Yan, but they had failed.

Looking at Yan Yan's actions now, I understand that he was still a bit petty at first.

What they were able to promise back then was no wonder they were rejected compared to Yan Yan's current status.

If they had known this earlier, they should have come up with the promise of becoming a lord or a lord!

However, both Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei knew that they really couldn't give them such a promise as a prince or a prince!

"This is the official credential of the alliance between our Great Qin and the Northern Territory!" At Ying Zheng's nod, Lu Buwei clapped his hands and ordered someone to bring up the credential and alliance that had been prepared.

Before, it was just a verbal agreement reached by Yao Jia, Xiao Xu and Yan Yan. Now it is the exchange of official credentials between the two parties.

The Letters of Credence and the Covenant were made in triplicate. One was left in Qin, one was left in Yunzhong, and the last one was left in the place where the letters of credence were signed for the public to the world.

Yan Yan carefully looked at the contents of the credentials. It was much more formal than the previous simple negotiation, and there were many supplementary clauses.

For example, the transaction list details and quantities of the newly added Yishi have clear specifications and price guarantees.

In addition, there is military cooperation between the two parties!

This is what Yan Yan values ​​​​the most.

The military cooperation provided by Qin State is that both sides advance and retreat together against the barbarians. When Qin State attacks and suppresses Rong and Di, Yunzhong should send troops to support!

At the same time, when Yunzhong attacked the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Dayuezhi, Qin would also send troops and generals to assist.

Yan Yan didn't have any objections to these. The most important thing was that Qin State was a bit generous!

"The State of Qin sent a young man to help Yunzhong build the Third Prince's City, Jiuyuan City, etc.!" Yan Yan looked at Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei in surprise.

"Are you satisfied, sir?" Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei asked with smiles.

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Yan Yan nodded.

"Reciprocate the favor, unite the five countries, sir, be able to restrain his subordinates and help Da Qin guard the North and Longxi. These are what we should do!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Yan Yan nodded, and after thinking about it, he understood that the Qin State wanted him to completely break with the Zhao State. The Qin Shaofu helped him build the city, which was not to say that he was establishing independence in the clouds.

Therefore, Qin seems to be repaying a favor, but in fact it is looking for trouble for Zhao and instigating the estranged relationship between Zhao and Yun Zhong.

In fact, Yan Yan had no doubt that the Qin State would incite the Zhao State to send troops to Yunzhong Jiuyuan after the alliance was reached.

Once the State of Zhao does not allow Yunzhong and Jiuyuan to become independent, it will inevitably send troops, and then the State of Qin will sit back and enjoy the gains, watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits!

But even though Yan Yan knew that Qin was behind everything, he still had to accept this gift!

After all, it was Qin Shaofu, the place with the most craftsmen in the world. Whether it was building a city or opening up wasteland, they were the most professional, and Yan Yan couldn't refuse.
