Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 1029 "Princes of One Party"

Feng Bao likes Lapland very much.

Lapland stayed in the yard, and Fengbao was lying on the kennel. Whenever Lapland left, it would follow behind, shaking the big cock together with Lapland.

Perhaps, this is called like attracts like.

The 1 gold military expenses that Xia Feng paid out before seemed to be working well. It has been more than two weeks, and he has not been disturbed by the people of the Nishinomiya family anymore.

But he knew in his heart that the 1 gold was obviously not a one-time buyout. According to his estimation, the balance should be insufficient.

Sure enough, his hunch was right.

A few days later, Hikoshi Nishinomiya came again.

On this day, the sun appeared above the sky for a long time, and the entire cherry blossom forest was bathed in the sun.

Hearing the Heigang brothers who were in charge of security on the outside reporting who was coming, Xia Feng had been waiting in the yard for a long time.

After a while, Hikoshi Nishinomiya came quickly.

As soon as he walked into the yard, this guy directly bent down and cupped his hands, which can be described as full of courtesy, but in Xia Feng's eyes, this action was automatically filtered into a gesture of reaching out for money.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, I'm here again"

Xia Feng raised his hand to signal him not to be polite, and then said directly.

"Tell me, how much do you want this time?"

"Ah this."

"Smart people don't speak dark words, so give me a number."

Hikoshi Nishinomiya was a little embarrassed, but now is not the time to be polite, seeing Xia Feng being so forthright, there is no need for him to tense up.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, in fact, I didn't ask for money this time, but since you asked for it, the more the better, the better. In order for our family to establish an advantage in the front line as soon as possible, I will trouble you to help me another 1 gold."

"Depend on."

Xia Feng frowned.

"It turns out that you didn't come here to ask for money this time. The 1 gold will be discussed later."

"It's okay to talk about it first."

"No, first tell me what you are here for this time."

"Uh alright."

Afterwards, Hikoshi Nishinomiya stood up straight, took out a letter from his coat, and handed it to Xia Feng.

"Your Excellency, this is a letter written by Patriarch Ling himself."

"Letter? What did you write?"

"I don't know about this. How dare I speculate on the letter written by the Patriarch to you. However, Patriarch Ling has given me a task."

Xia Feng took the letter and looked suspiciously at the clover pattern on the cover. According to his understanding, this is the family totem of the Nishinomiya family, just like the cherry blossom pattern of the Sakurabu family.

"What task did your Patriarch entrust to you?"

Hikoshi Nishinomiya nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, this time the Ling family has sternly instructed me to invite you to my family's mansion to discuss major issues in the world."

Hearing this sentence, Xia Feng didn't even bother to read the letter.

"What? Invite me to your hometown?"

"Exactly."

"It's so cold, I won't go."

Seeing Xia Feng's refusal so decisively, Hikoshi Nishinomiya panicked.

"Your Excellency, it is about the life and death of Xichuan as a whole. Please give me your honor. Patriarch Ling sincerely invites you to go."

Xia Feng directly threw the letter on the wooden table under the awning, raised Erlang's legs and said.

"Your Patriarch can come to me directly if you need anything, and ask someone else to come to the door. How can there be such a reason, just because he is the boss of Xichuan?"

"No, no, sir, you have misunderstood Patriarch Ling."

"Then let him come, I'll treat him to eat sandworms."

Hikoshi Nishinomiya quickly explained.

"Your Excellency, before leaving, Patriarch Ling asked me to tell you that he would definitely visit you in normal times, but now that the world is pressing, he can't get away."

"Oh?"

"Your Excellency, Patriarch Ling has indeed said so, and this time, Patriarch Ling has held a family banquet, and invited not only you, but also many bigwigs whom the family relies on."

Hearing this, Xia Feng suddenly pricked up his ears.

"Boss? Who is there?"

Hikoshi Nishinomiya did not hide anything, and replied truthfully.

"There are principals from the major commercial firms that Dongguo cooperates with our Xigong family, and there are also big foreign merchants such as Longmen."

"They're all businessmen? Anyone else?"

"There is also an adult from the mainland of Yan Nation."

"Who, say the name."

For some reason, Hikoshi Nishinomiya's voice trembled a little, as if the person he mentioned was of a very high status, so high that he had to be careful about mentioning it.

"This lord is the Governor of North China of Yan Kingdom, Lord Lin Hong."

Xia Feng raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Governor of Yan Kingdom North China, Lin Hong?"

"Yes"

Lin Hong, this name is very unfamiliar to Xia Feng, but the surname Lin is very common in Yan Country, and it is a standard Yan Country name.

But regarding the title [Governor of North China of Yan Kingdom], he could guess some clues.

He doesn't know the political system of Yan Kingdom, but he can still find a similar existence for the position of governor. This person is the governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu.

Longmen is a special zone city of Yan Kingdom, and also a mobile city-state with advanced origin stone technology. Moreover, Longmen enjoys a high degree of autonomy from Yan Kingdom, and the governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu, is the ruler of Longmen.

Wei Yanwu is the highest-ranking chief executive of the entire Longmen. To put it bluntly, regardless of Wei Yanwu's character, the prosperity of Longmen today depends entirely on the skills of this old guy.

It can be seen from this that the title of governor is an extremely high position in Yan Kingdom's political system. It not only holds political power, but also holds military power.

If you want to describe it, it is equivalent to a high-profile senior official with military and political integration.

Unlike Victoria, which faces north and south, the land of Yan Kingdom is very vast, almost 20 times that of Victoria. Of course, most of the land is currently in a barren state.

But even so, the vastness of Yan Kingdom cannot be controlled by one person.

For example, a row of seats in a classroom should have a group leader, a class should have a monitor, a school should have a principal, and a city should have a director of the education bureau.

When the base is huge enough, those in power must give up their power to those they trust, otherwise, it will be completely chaotic.

Therefore, based on the analysis of the situation in Yan Country, Xia Feng came up with a guess that was close to ten.

Lin Hong, the governor of North China, should be regarded as a "prince of one side" who holds great power.

In the yard, Xia Feng thought quickly and calmly.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked Hikoshi Nishinomiya.

"Why did the disputes in the Eastern Kingdom cause Yan Kingdom to intervene? Is it your Patriarch Ling's idea, or is it that the Governor of North China came here uninvited?"

Hikoshi Nishinomiya was at a loss for words when asked.

"I, a retainer who is preparing for the war, do not know about this kind of thing. Your Excellency, if you are curious, you can find out for yourself."

Xia Feng stared closely at Hikoshi Nishinomiya's eyes.

"You really don't know?"

"I don't know how to answer you about this kind of thing. I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, and I'm also afraid that you will get the wrong meaning, hey."

Afterwards, Hikoshi Nishinomiya faltered and explained some vague things.

What are the things that are incomprehensible, such as ruining the boat, sacrificing courage, tense wars, and the worst possibility.

In the end, Hikoshi Nishinomiya choked back a famous four-character quote, "I understand everything I know".

Obviously, Hikoshi Nishinomiya is not a riddler. This time he really "knows everything he knows, and he doesn't understand anything he doesn't understand". The things involved and involved are not understandable by ordinary people at all.

From this, it can be seen that this dispute in the Eastern Kingdom is not as simple as it seems.

However, Xia Feng is a person who is used to seeing the essence clearly through the complicated, and he has roughly heard the purpose of this so-called family banquet set up by Ling Xigong.

It's very simple, this is exactly the same as what Wei Na did when the civil strife broke out in Victoria.

When one's own side is at a disadvantage, by giving up its own interests in exchange for external assistance, to put it bluntly, it is to cut meat for food.

As long as it doesn't die, the flesh will grow back, but if it dies, there will be nothing left.

Not to mention the meat, there will be no bones left.
