Chapter 1152 Mysterious Visitor

Yaoguang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Know people and do their jobs well!"

Jiang Fan smiled: "So, get out of here after drinking. I'm not going to blast you, but there is someone you definitely don't want to see..."

Yaoguang frowned: "Who?"

Jiang Fan looked at him sympathetically: "Don't ask, if you have to know, go to the dungeon by yourself. Believe me, you will definitely regret it if you go..."

Yaoguang didn't believe in evil, so he turned around and walked towards the dungeon. As he walked, he stopped halfway, lowered his head as if thinking about something, and then turned around and walked towards the wine cellar.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know who he was thinking of. Anyway, no matter who it was, it showed that Yaoguang had a lot of awkwardness in his heart...

Just after sending Yaoguang away, Jiang Fan unexpectedly received a mysterious visitor.

Looking at the short old man in front of him with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, Jiang Fan never expected that King Youxian actually sent a special envoy, and he was a Chinese.

He asked to see Jiang Fan in the name of offering a treasure, but he refused to say what kind of treasure it was, only claiming that the regent would definitely be interested.

Ba Qing couldn't make the decision, so he asked Jiang Fan for instructions. Jiang Fan thought it was interesting, so he met with this person.

"Are you...the special envoy of King Youxian?"

The old man bowed and narrowed his eyes, with an attentive look on his face: "By order of my king, I come here to present a treasure to His Highness the Regent..."

"Oh? What treasure?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and carefully took out a brass box from his arms.

"I heard that Your Highness likes to collect ancient books and secret scriptures the most, so my king has specially ordered me to send you a strange book... I hope the prince will accept it."

Jiang Fan frowned: "It's mysterious, that's fine. I'll just take a look and see what kind of treasure it is."

After saying that, he took it and opened it gently. Just one glance, and Jiang Fan's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He closed the lid suddenly: "Where did you get it?"

The old man smiled and said: "What my king said was obtained by chance fifty years ago. Is your highness satisfied with this thing?"

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed coldly: "... Fifty years ago, King Youxian must have taken it from him..."

The old man said calmly: "I only care about giving gifts. I have never seen what this is, and I don't even know how to get it..."

Jiang Fan's tone was cold: "You took away the treasure of my Chinese family and gave it to me as a favor. King Youxian... made a good calculation. Why did he give it to me?"

The old man said: "My king has said that this thing is just a fragment of the scroll, and it is useless to keep it, but it is not the case for the prince. Maybe I can exchange it for what I want."

Jiang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that King Youxian didn't know the real reason.

Staring at the old man, Jiang Fan slowly said: "I have accepted this great gift. Tell me, what does he want?"

The old man saluted and bowed: "My king, I just want to make good friends with you and do some business..."

Jiang Fan stared at him: "Business...what business does he want to do?"

The old man said: "My king is very interested in King Zuo Xian's business..."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized that Ba Qing had originally planned to conquer the northern border, but unexpectedly, King Youxian was even more anxious.

Since it was a plan that had already been made and someone else came to the door, Jiang Fan naturally would not refuse. He slowly suppressed his anger and showed a calm smile.

"Oh? Who said that this king is doing business with King Zuoxian?"

The old man said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a big shot, why bother teasing me? Although the grassland is vast and the news spreads slowly, you can always hear something."

Jiang Fan smiled lightly: "You traitor is a bit interesting..."

"Traitor?" The old man was stunned.

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "It means the Chinese people surrender to the foreign race. Old man, you are a traitor."

The old man's words didn't sound like anything good, but he didn't dare to argue.

"My lord is willing to call me this, so I'm fine with you. It's just this business, what do you want me to do?"

"If King Youxian wants to do business with me, he must express his position first." Jiang Fan was noncommittal.

The old man hurriedly bowed and said: "Of course, my king has personally confessed that he is willing to pay the same price as King Xian of the left. Since the prince is doing business all over the world, it is natural that the business will be bigger and bigger. My tribe of King Xian of the right has a population of tens of millions, including cattle and sheep."

The numbers are no worse than that of King Zuo Xian. Don’t you want to open up an extra business avenue?”

Jiang Fan frowned deliberately, seeming to be thinking.

Ba Qing said at the right time: "We have a gentleman's agreement with King Zuoxian, but it is not suitable..."

The old man chuckled: "What Mrs. Qing said is wrong. A businessman only cares about making money, so why are you afraid of having too few customers? The way of a gentleman does not seem to be the way of a merchant..."

Jiang Fan pondered for a long time and then said: "Okay, in view of this great gift, I agree to open trade with King Youxian's tribe."

The old man suddenly looked overjoyed. He had obviously made a great contribution. You must know that because King Zuo Xian controlled the business, he sold refined salt, tea, porcelain, fine wine and other items to King You Xian's tribe at sky-high prices, and made a lot of money. King You Xian made a lot of money.

However, because there was no channel, the royal family had no choice but to swallow their anger and lose a huge amount of money. Now, they finally connected with the regent, and they can put aside the greedy King Zuo Xian from now on.

"But..." Jiang Fan changed the subject, "You should also understand what I want."

The old man said respectfully: "Cows, sheep and horses, and last but not least, gold and silver, I know this well."

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Yes, our Daqin is facing a siege from four countries and is in short supply of supplies. If we want to fight, we cannot lack these things..."

The old man hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand. My king has entrusted this villain to lead the message. I hope that Lord Qin will unify the five countries as soon as possible..."

He smiled sincerely, after all, in their opinion, the more chaotic the Chinese, the better.

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, in that case, trade is open, but this matter goes against the agreement of King Zuo Xian, so... you understand."

The old man immediately said: "Keep it a secret. Your Majesty, don't worry about this. What our department loses must be earned back. Therefore, we should keep it a secret even without your Majesty's orders."

Jiang Fan laughed: "Little old man, you are indeed a smart man. I like to deal with smart people."

The old man was a little proud: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"Come, reward!"

When the old man saw a tray of yellow and orange gold, he suddenly smiled and his face turned into a chrysanthemum.

Jiang Fan felt disgusted in his heart. Since this kind of person is a traitor, it is most likely because of greed, and yellow and white things are the best to buy.

Jiang Fan naturally had some concerns about buying such a person.

He sneered in his heart, but with an appreciative smile on his face: "You are a well-organized little old man with a lot of brains. Okay, let me send a message to King Youxian for me. You will act as the middleman for future trades."

Now the old man is even more surprised. This has pushed him to an extremely important position. Who can not take him seriously from now on? Even all the leaders of the entire Youxian Royal Court, who can't give him three points of praise?

In ecstasy, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

"No need to be polite, what do you call me?"
