As a unified dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty was surrounded by a few small, insignificant neighboring countries, besides a few not-so-friendly ones like Ancient Abyss.

As the absolute political and economic center of the Great Yan Dynasty, Di'an City often sees foreign visitors dressed in different styles on the streets. However, this is the first time I've seen a blonde woman with blue eyes and a tin can-shaped outfit behind her.

The large hall was completely silent, save for the dull footsteps of the man in the tin can behind the woman.

Of course, this is only the surface.

The existence of Yantian Divine Soul allowed Xu Yuan to clearly hear some rustling sounds of transmission.

"Are these two the visitors from the sea who reside in the Grand Court of State Ceremonial?"

"It seems so. Blonde hair and blue eyes, their appearance matches the intelligence report. However, these two always stay at the Court of State Ceremonial and almost never go out."

"Perhaps some important figure in Di'an City is interested in the dynasty behind these two. After all, they came from afar by sea and were able to fight those Japanese to a standstill across the ocean, so their strength must be considerable."

"That's true. If we can make connections, there should be a lot of money to be made."

"What, is the Qi Family Jiangnan interested in this business?"

"Hehe, of course I am interested. My Qi Family has been killing Japanese people in the Jiangnan region for hundreds of years. However, His Majesty and the Prime Minister's attitude towards this unfamiliar dynasty is still unclear. Making contact without authorization would be going against the tide."

"The Japanese are just dogs, incapable of causing any trouble, while this unfamiliar dynasty may be a tiger."

"So what if it's a tiger? If this cancer to our sect is eradicated, even a dragon will have to cower before my Great Yan."

Elegant Jade Palace is the most expensive brothel in Di'an City, and its guests are all wealthy and powerful.

The fighting on the Dongying Island had been going on for a year, and they had learned about it to some extent through their own channels.

In these conversations, there was no praise for the blonde woman's stunning beauty, nor any inquiry into who she was meeting; there were only brief analyses and disdain for people from other lands.

He withdrew his Yantian Divine Soul and the sounds around him faded away.

Xu Yuan's gaze lingered on the two foreigners with great interest, and he softly asked Li Yunqing:

"Your Highness, are these two the distinguished guests you are hosting tonight?"

Li Yunqing did not answer the question, but instead transmitted his voice with a hint of helplessness:

"The ancients said that evil deeds can last for a thousand years, and that is truly true. However, Xu Changtian, aren't you afraid that I will tell my father about your actions tonight?"

Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's persistent haunting.

Xu Yuan chuckled softly and transmitted his voice indifferently:

"I've come to ask for your trust, but it's fine if you want to tell me. However, if you do, you'll most likely never be able to go to Eastern Isles, and you'll be stuck in this Di'an City for the rest of your life."

"."

Li Yunqing's face twitched, and he cursed inwardly, but outwardly he sighed and asked:

"Speak, what brings you here to see me?"

"Let's make a deal." Xu Yuan.

trade?

Li Yunqing raised an eyebrow, watching the two figures approaching, and pondered for a moment:

"Now is probably not the time. Let's talk in detail after these two leave."

"Huh? So you mean you're allowing me to eavesdrop on your conversation?"

"Tsk, if I said no, would you leave?"

"Won't."

"That settles it then."

As Li Yunqing spoke, she glanced at her wrist, which was being gripped by Xu Yuan:

"Young Master Xu, let go. I don't want people to think I have homosexual tendencies."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan chuckled and withdrew his hand, then stood up from the soft couch and casually asked:

"Are you interested in that blonde woman?"

Li Yunqing casually straightened his slightly disheveled blue and black patterned robes and said:

"I am somewhat interested, after all, as you've seen, she's so good-looking."

As he spoke,

He glanced sideways at Xu Yuan and lewdly said:

"What, you have one too?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

Do you think I have the right to force anyone given my current status?

Li Yunqing looked Xu Yuan up and down, shook his head, and said:

"She's lacking in every aspect. After all, she's the so-called third princess of the Kingdom of Xien, and supposedly the fourth in line to the throne."

"The throne?"

Xu Yuan was slightly intrigued upon hearing this. "Was the throne bestowed upon you by your father, or did they submit a petition themselves?"

The ancestral system of the Great Yan Dynasty was extremely complicated, with strict regulations on the titles of other countries and their political leaders. Officials of the Court of State Ceremonial had to strictly follow these regulations when submitting memorials to the emperor.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the titles of Emperor, Sovereign, and King were not merely different names for different political systems, as Xu Yuan had in his previous life, but rather direct symbols of power.

Only the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty could be called the title of Emperor; the surrounding alien forces were merely called kings.

The same principle applies to the Tachao Royal Court and the Barbarian Tribe Alien King, with the only exception being Ancient Abyss, whose leader of the Demon Race is recognized as the Demon Emperor by the Great Yan Dynasty.

And now, that Kingdom of Xien from the sea is also claiming the title of emperor?

Li Yunqing had already approached the two Xien envoys, who were five zhang away, and whispered:

"These foreigners are unaware of the etiquette and laws of our Great Yan; it was naturally bestowed upon them by my father, the Emperor."

Xu Yuan smiled upon hearing this:

"It seems your royal family truly holds the Kingdom of Xien in high regard."

"Isn't this how it is in your Prime Minister's Mansion?" Li Yunqing asked with a forced smile.

Xu Yuan spoke quite frankly, "It seems my father doesn't intend to make any plans there for the time being."

At present, the entire focus of the Prime Minister's Estate is within the territory of the Great Yan. The internal reports and memorials sent to the study only contain a few words about the war with Eastern Isles, at least that's how it is in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion's Mansion.

Li Yunqing frowned slightly. "The Prime Minister actually has no intention of interfering in the affairs of Eastern Isles?"

Xu Yuan replied softly, "Even if the Kingdom of Xien could swallow up Dongying Island, it would take at least sixty years to digest it."

At this point, Xu Yuan changed the subject and smiled:

"Of course, my father's lack of intention to get involved doesn't mean I won't get involved."

Li Yunqing laughed upon hearing this, a hint of mockery in his smile:

"Without the support of the Prime Minister's Estate, how do you plan to intervene in the war on the Dongying Island?"

Nature uses you as its medium.

"." Li Yunqing.

Xu Yuan patted the other person on the shoulder and smiled:

"This is also what I want to discuss with you tonight. Don't look at me like that. I will not take advantage of you this time, and I can assure you that this will be a win-win situation for both of us."

"Alright, they've arrived. You're hosting tonight, aren't you going to greet them?"

After saying that,

Xu Yuan's gaze, gleaming with a pale golden light, swept over the tin can that exuded a slightly dangerous aura, and finally settled on the blonde woman in the lead.

immediately,

He frowned involuntarily.

This beautiful golden-haired princess was actually just a mortal.
