Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The person's elegant words were very standard, and everyone on board could hear them clearly.

Jing Shi turned to look at Xiao Zirong and asked, "Master Lang?"

Xiao Zirong said blankly, "Reject."

Of course, he didn’t need to come to this call, so the interpreter was forced to go into battle, expressing in euphemistic words that he didn’t know who you were and didn’t plan to see you.

The general on the other side said something to the side after hearing this, and then Xiao Zirong saw two rows of soldiers stand up quickly, the first row squatted down, the second row stood, and at the same time raised their bows and arrows, and the arrows The tip is not an ordinary arrow but a raging flame.

So the other side shouted again: "Please also ask the owner to disembark and tell."

Xiao Zirong almost laughed out of anger when he saw it, he didn't know why General Xida insisted on seeing him, but this kind of slightly threatening words... friend, we are at sea, we can turn around and leave at any time , you may not know how fast a ship with a steam engine is.

However, no matter how fast the speed is, it still needs to start the stage. If the opponent really shoots the arrow, it will be a bit dangerous.

Xiao Zirong decided to strike first, he turned to Jing Shi and said, "Give them a round of long-range strikes!"

Jing Shi has been with him for more than two years, and he can understand Xiao Zirong's meaning very well, so when he turned his head, he asked someone to set up the heavy crossbow and loaded it with bursting arrows.

General Luo Shou standing at the port couldn't help showing a puzzled expression on his face when he saw it.

What's the situation?Why would a merchant ship have a weapon like a heavy crossbow?

Because Xiao Zirong didn't say that he wanted to use the heavy crossbow to deter him, so after the heavy crossbow was mounted, the bursting arrows were shot directly in a very short period of time.

However, in order not to cause international disputes, Xiao Zirong still warned: "Don't really blow up people to death."

That way, I'm afraid that Xie Da will hunt them down endlessly, and if he finds out his true identity, Qi State will be in danger.

Today's Heda is at its strongest period. Even Persia and India have lowered their proud heads to them. They should not tolerate other people's provocations.

So just a warning, don't really kill people.

The shooter's control over the shooting range was relatively precise, and he directly hit the bursting arrow into the sea water not far from them.

The bursting arrow had already exploded before it touched the sea water, so its power was not reduced by the sea water, and even because it entered the water during the explosion, it directly caused quite a splash.

All the people who were on the shore were bathed, including General Luo Shou's black horse that looked very handsome.

This battle startled the other party, and the arrogant General Luo Shou finally gave Xiao Zirong a very apprehensive look, turned his horse's head and planned to leave.

Xiao Zirong was stunned when he saw him turn around. He thought that the other party would definitely not be reconciled and would fight him again.

In this process, Xiao Zirong can put forward his own demands.

It's not that he really doesn't want to meet the Heda people, it's just that he doesn't intend to humble himself. He wants to do business with the Heda people on an equal footing, and he also has the strength and qualifications.

But what's the situation now?

Xiao Zirong frowned, hesitated for a while, but still didn't let the interpreter call him back.

He couldn't save face, what's more, what if people thought he was going to humiliate him if he called him to stop him?

Xiao Zirong frowned and said: "Send someone to watch the port, and report any movement."

Khorasan Port is still a relatively important resource. He feels that the Heda people will definitely not give up, and that he has heavy firepower here may also make the Heda people fearful. Sooner or later, someone will be sent to negotiate with him, perhaps as a warning. , and even possibly expulsion.

Xiao Zirong returned to the room, at this time he was already very tired, this time was already the time for him to sleep, but today he is not sleepy at all.

He thought for a while and decided to lie on the bed and look through the calculus and functions in the library.

We must know that when he was a student, mathematics has always been his weakness, and calculus and functions are even weaker. Later, when he became A Piao, he rarely went to areas related to mathematics, unless it was really boring.

But even this only brought his math level to the average level of a double first-class university.

For him, the mathematics reference book is a proper hypnotic bible.

It's just that he underestimated the extent of his nervousness. What happened that night made him even more uncertain than when he was in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Even if the Northern Wei Dynasty was an enemy, they were able to communicate and had a certain understanding of each other.

However, he could only get a glimpse of the situation through the clues recorded in the history books.

This nation without words and towns made him feel as if he was looking at the flowers in a fog, and he didn't know how to deal with each other.

So after studying mathematics all night, Xiao Zirong once again saw the sunrise on the sea.

He sat by the window and looked at the sea water dyed red by the sunrise, full of melancholy, so... Can't even mathematics hypnotize him?Does he need to find another subject that will hypnotize him?

This is simply unscientific!

Just when Xiao Zirong was feeling melancholy, Jing Shi walked over again and said, "Your Highness, there is another person coming from Heda, but this time it is only the person who called out last night."

Xiao Zirong asked: "What did he say?"

"He asked His Highness why he was willing to meet their general."

Xiao Zirong frowned: "That general...why does he insist on seeing me?"

How did Jing Shi know, if he knew, he wouldn't have come to ask Xiao Zirong for instructions, and he can help deal with it himself!

Xiao Zirong couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, so he said directly: "Tell them, since you want to see him, you have to have the gesture of asking for it. General Luo Shou is fine if you want to meet, let him go on board and talk about it."

Xiao Zirong knew that the opponent would definitely not board his ship easily, especially when his fleet had already shown its fangs.

The reason why he said this is firstly to put on an arrogant look and tell the other party that he is not easy to mess with, and secondly to see how persistent the other party is about meeting.

If he is too persistent...he will run away!

The last time he was so persistent to see him was Yuan Ke.

Of course, he doesn't feel that he is a heartthrob that everyone loves, and people will always look up to him wherever he goes.

But in any case, it is always right to be careful. In case the gutter capsizes, this time it may not be possible to meet a god assist like Mu Lin, especially when the two sides do not understand the language.

After Jing Shi took the order, he returned to the deck and sent someone to negotiate with the other party.

After Xiao Zirong ate his breakfast absent-mindedly, Jing Shi came back and said, "Your Highness, the other party is going to send someone to visit."

"Send someone? Who are you sending?"

"It seems to be the interpreter from last night."

After Xiao Zirong heard this, he really wanted to see him. After all, he was very curious about how the Qi people would follow Xida.

"Let him come."

Jing Shi frowned: "Your Highness, why don't I go see him, where is he worthy to see you?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at him and said: "What nonsense? My identity is now the son of a wealthy businessman, and it is almost enough. Are you afraid that people will not be able to see my identity?"

Jing Shi was at a loss for words for a moment, thinking that the person who can casually take out a heavy crossbow is obviously not the son of a simple wealthy businessman. I'm afraid your identity has been suspected long ago, but people may not have imagined that the dignified princes and kings of Qi would pretend to be businessmen Just run the boat.

In a sense, His Royal Highness's behavior is always unexpected, but it's not completely useless.

After the negotiation, Xiao Zirong ordered a lifeboat to be lowered from the main ship to pick him up.

When the man saw Xiao Zirong, his posture was very low, and he performed a very special etiquette as soon as he came up.

When he raised his head, Xiao Zirong asked in surprise, "Hu man?"

The man was a little excited when he saw Xiao Zirong: "Yes, the villain is from Wei, I don't know you..."

Xiao Zirong smiled slightly: "Our caravan is under King Jinling of Qi."

The expression on the man's face froze for a moment, but soon he adjusted his expression, still respectfully and enthusiastically said: "My name is Da'an, and I have met Mr. Xiaolang."

Xiao Zirong asked curiously: "Da'an? Since you are from Wei, why did you follow the Xieda people?"

The expression on Da'an's face darkened for a moment: "To tell you the truth, I was once a prisoner of Heda, and was later kept because of my proficiency in multiple languages."

captive?Xiao Zirong couldn't help but sat up straight: "You mean, Heda also has a dispute with your country Wei?"

Da'an sighed: "Heda runs across the north of the Great Wall, and will rob us from time to time."

Xiao Zirong: ...

Good guy, what is this setting of the Great Demon King? The Northern Wei Dynasty, which has always been invincible, has suffered such a big loss at the hands of Xie Da?

You must know that the ancestors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were also nomads. Is it a daily life for the people of the Central Plains to be robbed by nomads?

Xiao Zirong felt that this news was quite important. When he checked the information before, he didn't look in this direction.

After all, Persia is quite far from the Central Plains, and there are countries such as India in the middle, so he didn't expect that Heda would have friction with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In this way, it seems that Xida can be put into the watch list first.

However, in order to prevent the other party from guessing his purpose, Xiao Zirong did not ask too much in this regard but asked: "Okay, let's talk about that General Luo Shou, why does he insist on seeing me?"

Da'an glanced at Xiao Zirong and said hesitantly: "General Luo Shou previously learned that Mr. Lang is a businessman from the East, and there are many exquisite goods from the East on board, so..."

He didn't make it clear, but Xiao Zirong already understood what he meant.

Probably because I was not satisfied with the robbery in the city, so I wanted to go to the merchant to rob again.

In fact, at the port yesterday, the Heda people had robbed all those rich merchants.

Xiao Zirong chuckled lightly: "Now that I think about it, he doesn't have this idea anymore, so why does he want to see me now?"

Da'an said: "General Luo Shou sent me to ask Mr. Lang, are those crossbows with sorcery and great power on your ship sold or not?"

Xiao Zirong: Wait a minute, what do you think I carry with my crossbow?
