"The envoy from the State of Shen is named He. Is he here at the invitation?" Fu Shanyue sat up straight. "He is here at the invitation of He Xiao, right?"
"But you are..." Taozi also reacted, "Oh, they don't know that Yang Shan has changed his master yet."
"Okay, get him here." Fu Shanyue stretched and stood up, "I'll receive him on behalf of He Xiao."
……
After visiting a seafood market filled with fishy smell, He Yue sniffed his clothes and hurried back to the inn to take a shower and change clothes.
After drifting on the sea for more than a month, his whole body was pickled by the sea breeze, and every step he took exuded a salty and fishy smell.
After taking a shower, he went downstairs and ordered a bowl of cuttlefish noodles and two plates of fried cakes.
The fried cakes are very fragrant and crispy when you bite them. They are delicious!
The squid noodles were also refreshing and chewy, and the soup was rich. He Yue sipped several mouthfuls of noodles before he remembered to ask:
Where is the cuttlefish?
This is just a bowl of scallion noodles, where is the cuttlefish?
"These noodles are made of cuttlefish!" The waiter came over to explain:
The locals catch cuttlefish in the sea, remove the organs and membranes, and beat them into a paste by hand. They then mix it with flour and starch, and make noodles with the fish meat.
It turned out to be the case.
He Yue was eating happily when he heard a guest at the next table complaining while drinking:
"That's not right. They say that the Yangshan Islands are tax-free for goods with flashing gold, but my men just went to declare customs and they had to pay a large sum of money!"
Another customer was obviously an old hand: "You have to pay the navigation fee. If you rent a warehouse on the island, you also have to pay the storage fee. Also, you have to show the official cargo label issued by Julu Port to prove that your goods came from Shanjin."
He Yue knew that Julu Port was the westernmost port in the Shanjin Plain and also the largest port in Shanjin.
The guest continued, "In the past, the management was lax in this regard. If you were transporting Yangshan's specialties, the port would give you tax exemption. After the Yangshan Islands were occupied by the Chiyan Kingdom, the procedures were strictly required..."
He Yue's head buzzed and he could not hear what was said next.
He didn't care about being impolite and interrupted the conversation between the two people: "Excuse me, please excuse me, what you two just said, Yangshan now belongs to Chiyan?!"
"Yes." Both guests nodded, "It's been several months."
The minimum time for a Hainan Airlines flight is three to five months, and the maximum is half a year to a year. It is normal not to receive any news from the shore during this period, so the two seafarers did not laugh at He Yue's lack of information. They just asked him, "How long have you been out?"
"Several months..." He Yue quickly calmed down, "Yangshan Islands were doing well, how could the owner suddenly change? I remember the previous owner's surname was He, how is he doing?"
"Congratulations?" The two seafarers looked at each other. "Isn't the previous island owner of Yangshan the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"
"Ah? The Emperor?"
"Now I should call you the Great Emperor Jiuyou." Hai Ke said with a smile, "You don't know about the great changes in the flash of gold. You have been away for a long time this time."
He Yue was shocked beyond words. He repeated it subconsciously with a trembling voice: "Emperor Jiuyou? You mean, he became emperor?"
Brother succeeded!
"Yes, the Great Emperor Jiuyou unified the Shining Gold Plain and established the country as 'Cangyan'."
He Yue paused for a moment, but immediately asked, "How could the Yangshan Islands change hands? Were they conquered?"
"I haven't heard of that."
The waiter came over to deliver some snacks to the seafarer and answered, "There was no war, no trouble, but the island owner and ownership suddenly changed overnight. When we woke up, Yangshan became the property of Chiyan. We were confused. During those two days, the port was still doing business as usual, but the port patrols were a little stricter and were replaced by Chiyan soldiers. But the government offices were still staffed by the same people. When we went to do business, we still saw the same old faces and the procedures were the same."
The government office still had Yang Shan’s original team, just a new signboard.
Hai Ke lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the owner of Yangshan Island deliberately gave this place to the Chiyan Kingdom."
He Yue blurted out: "Why?"
Big brother burned down the Star-Picking Tower in the Heavenly Palace. Didn’t he have a deep conflict with Beijia?
"At that time, Bejia issued a ban on the Yangshan Islands, which led to a sharp decline in maritime trade on this route. I don't know how Emperor Jiuyou discussed with Bejia, but he gave this place to the other party." The seafarer spat out a piece of chicken bone and waved his hand, "I just heard it, it may not be accurate."
At this moment, two patrolmen came in from outside, went straight to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper:
"We are looking for the envoy of the Shen Kingdom, his surname is He."
He Yue's scalp felt numb.
When he went to the Governor's Office to submit his application for a meeting, he had no idea that the owner of the island had been replaced and this place had become Chiyan's territory!
The shopkeeper had already pointed in this direction, so he could only say, "I'm here."
The patrolman turned around and said sternly: "The island owner wants to see you!"
A quarter of an hour ago, He Yue wanted it very much; a quarter of an hour later, he could not avoid it.
But now there is no way to hide. "Excuse me, who is the current island owner?"
"Your Highness, Prince Yue."
He Yue scratched his head.
In the State of Shen, he was also known as Prince Yue.
……
The further you go into the interior of Sodin Island, the more picturesque the scenery becomes.
The prosperity and bustle of Yangshan Islands are ten times that of Baisha Bay, which makes He Yue envious.
The island owner's office is located on the edge of the lake, a quiet place in the midst of noise. The noise from other parts of the island cannot be heard here at all.
He Yue had no intention of enjoying the scenery. He was thinking about why Prince Chi Yan wanted to see him.
He had just submitted the application half an hour ago. The efficiency of the work on this island was too high. And was Prince Chiyan so idle that he would meet someone just because he wanted to?
There were a few blue sheep grazing by the lake. The leader had a delicate little tag hanging around his neck. He was looking at him while chewing the tender grass coldly.
The big spiral horns are so sharp that they can stab someone to death.
As soon as I entered the office, a man in blue came over with his hands behind his back.
He is tall, with a strong and upright figure and a handsome face, but his eyes are a little cold.
As soon as he saw He Yue, he looked him up and down.
He Yue ignored the arrogance in his gaze and clasped his fists in greeting: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The man in front of him is the prince of Chiyan, one of the thirteen demon kingdoms of Beiga!
Fu Shanyue's next words shocked him:
"Are you He Yue?"
"..." He Yue was stunned for two breaths, "Do you recognize me?"
What was going on? How could Prince Chiyan call out his name? Did he hear it from his brother?
Fu Shanyue kept a scrutinizing gaze and said: "You two brothers look somewhat similar, but you look kinder." He Xiao is as deep as the sea, he is not a good person.
He Yue forced himself to remain calm: "My brother has mentioned me before?"
Yes, if the ownership of the Yangshan Islands was transferred peacefully without the use of force, it means that some agreement must have been reached between my brother and the Chiyan people, and both parties naturally recognized it.
