An honored guest visits

"Friend, I don't think we need to have a conflict. We can discuss anything."

The captain forced himself to calm down; in his many years of combat, he had never encountered anything so bizarre.

Looking at Fang Weiyan in front of her, she felt a real tightness in her chest.

"You shot me several times, and then thought you could negotiate to let me go? What were you thinking?"

"Besides, having already invaded this place, you think you can leave unscathed? You must be dreaming."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan's expression immediately darkened.

Previously, I had only seen historical information about invaders in history books.

But now, the intruders had appeared right in front of him, and when Fang Weiyan saw these guys, an inexplicable rage surged within him.

These guys must die.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan immediately glanced at the sniper in the distance.

The sniper Fang Weiyan spotted the next moment died instantly.

Fang Weiyan wouldn't even need to lift a finger to kill these guys; he could just think about it.

The captain watched Fang Weiyan's actions, even though he hadn't witnessed the deaths of those around him.

But he still sensed something was wrong, and the sense of crisis rising in his heart made him raise his gun and continue firing at Fang Weiyan.

For now, he has no choice but to continue relying on the gun in his hand.

This time, however, Fang Weiyan was not prepared to fire; he merely glanced at the other person.

The group of people immediately collapsed and died, as if they had seen something terrifying.

A whole squad was wiped out in an instant.

I didn't even see how Fang Weiyan made his move.

The remaining person stared at Fang Weiyan with terror in their eyes and disbelief in their expression.

"You haven't said where you're from yet?"

Fang Weiyan looked at the remaining agent and asked a question.

But after thinking about it, Fang Weiyan shook his head again, "Forget it, why ask so many questions about a dead man?"

After saying that, Fang Weiyan turned and left.

These guys have already seen themselves; there's no need for them to live anymore.

As Fang Weiyan left, the remaining agent instantly collapsed and died.

He died without ever knowing how he died.

But behind the pupils, a deep sense of terror still lingered.

In this quiet place, following the deaths of this group of people, another group of people quickly arrived.

They heard the gunshots and rushed here immediately.

They had received orders, and hearing gunfire from this side, they dared not be negligent.

But when they rushed over, all they found were corpses.

Upon seeing the corpse before them, the group exchanged glances.

What happened?

A group of people stared at the corpse on the ground, with a special agent standing nearby—the very target they were looking for.

"The body is still warm; the person has only recently died."

Someone immediately stepped forward to check, but after examining the person, they were puzzled because they couldn't find any obvious external injuries on the body.

"There were no obvious external injuries, and no signs of struggle were visible on the body. There were spent shell casings on the ground; a shot had just been fired."

The inspectors quickly reported on their findings.

"Team 1 will immediately conduct a search of the surrounding area to see if they can find the perpetrator. The rest of you will continue to examine the scene."

The person leading the team was startled upon hearing this.

He only needed a casual glance to tell that this squad was definitely elite.

Yet this elite force died here so quietly...

"How much time has passed since we heard the gunshots and arrived here?"

The captain suddenly thought of another situation, and his expression changed as he asked.

"Report, one minute and twenty-eight seconds!"

One minute and twenty-eight seconds...

Such a small team, wiped out so quickly and silently?

How exactly did they do it?

It wasn't a gunshot wound, and there were no external injuries on his body... How did they manage that?

At this moment, everyone wore an expression of disbelief.

They genuinely didn't understand how this was done.

One minute!

Battles never end so quickly.

Another obvious point is that the other party clearly saw the enemy before firing.

However, this had no effect at all, because they saw no blood on the ground.

After waiting at the scene for most of the day, the search team returned with news.

They found the body of a sniper not far away, brought it back for examination, and found that the manner of death was similar.

In addition, shell casings were also seen at the scene.

It was obvious that the other side had also fired.

But how could a sniper miss after firing a shot?

The sniper had clearly spotted the enemy, but after the enemy fired, he missed and died instantly.

This left everyone utterly puzzled.

But what was discovered during the subsequent examination was even more shocking to everyone.

Even after conducting a thorough autopsy, they still couldn't find any cause of death.

It's fair to say they had absolutely no idea how the other person died.

The strangeness of this matter far exceeded their expectations.

"It's all calculated, the location is..."

Meanwhile, Fang Weiyan had flown back to the Daoist temple, sent a message to Liang Lijian.

Although he's dealt with the person, he still needs to respond to this side to avoid giving himself away.

As Liang Lijian read Fang Weiyan's reply, he fell into deep thought.

The guy he was chasing was already dead...

He had just received the news, and another point was that the other party's death was somewhat mysterious, and there were also people who came to meet them.

The fact that this group of people died so mysteriously made him start to suspect Fang Weiyan.

"Layman, are you still in the Daoist temple?"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Lijian typed a message on his phone and sent it.

"If I'm not at the Daoist temple, where else could I be?"

Fang Weiyan looked at the phone in front of him and immediately realized that he was being suspected.

However, Fang Weiyan remained completely unfazed.

It was just a moment of suspicion, nothing serious.

He immediately replied calmly.

Upon reading the reply, Liang Lijian couldn't help but frown. Could it be that Fang Weiyan wasn't behind it?

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

No matter how strange Fang Weiyan found it, it was still just one person, while those guys had opened fire.

If Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan had actually made the move, he'd probably have several bullet holes in his body by now, right?

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. Thank you for today."

Regardless, Fang Weiyan's calculations were accurate.

Looking at the location Fang Weiyan sent, Liang Lijian also took a breath.

Although he knew Fang Weiyan's abilities, he still couldn't help but be surprised by how accurately Fang Weiyan could locate targets every time he looked at him.

This guy is just too capable.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to my meditation retreat."

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan immediately replied, then prepared to transfer some supplies to the Jiang Kingdom before returning to the Jiang Kingdom to continue his work.

When he was away, Fang Weiyan always used the excuse that he needed to cultivate, and no one suspected him because of this.

After all, he was originally someone who lived in a Daoist temple, and given Fang Weiyan's abilities, it was perfectly normal for him to say that he wanted to cultivate.

After quickly resolving the issue of supplies, Fang Weiyan returned to the Jiang Kingdom.

Jiang Kingdom.

When Fang Weiyan returned, he looked at the visitor with some surprise.

"The Princess of the Zhou Kingdom requests an audience?"

Having heard the news that the other party had come to Yanhuai City, and seeing that the other party had no intention of coming to the palace to request an audience, Fang Weiyan simply ignored it.

In any case, the two countries have a trade relationship.

It seems there's no difference between seeing each other and not seeing each other.

However, Fang Weiyan was still somewhat puzzled by the fact that the other party seemed to have been waiting for some time.

"Let her in."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment and decided that no matter what the other party's purpose was, he should meet with them first.

Soon, the person was brought in.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan saw the princess of the Zhou Kingdom.

Dressed in formal attire, she walked with a cautious gait, yet possessed a unique air of elegance.

When the other person arrived and gave a graceful bow, Fang Weiyan waved his hand, indicating that the person should take a seat.

"Princess Liu Yun, what brings you to see me?"

Fang Weiyan was too busy to bother with formalities.

Princess Liu Yun was taken aback by the other party's decisiveness.

To be more natural, wouldn't it be better to ask if the journey was tiring, or if I was settling in well in the Jiang Kingdom?

Why is this person so decisive?

Feeling somewhat confused, Liu Yun dared not show it.

The emperor before her was the Human Sovereign, even more powerful than her father.

"I've heard that a Human Sovereign has emerged from the Jiang Kingdom. I've never seen him before, so I've come specifically to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Yun bowed slightly and said softly.

Fang Weiyan knew it was just polite talk, so he just listened casually.

She casually echoed this, only to hear Princess Liu Yun abruptly change the subject, "I've heard that His Majesty's grain yields are exceptionally high, thanks to a precious substance called chemical fertilizer?"

Princess Liu Yun looked at Fang Weiyan with bright eyes as she spoke.

That's right, that's why she came to find Fang Weiyan.

She hadn't known about this before, but now that she had heard the news, she couldn't wait to enter the palace.

She desperately wanted to know if it was true.

Based on what she had heard before, it was clear that this was true.

However, when she came up to ask if it was true, it was just a polite way of asking; she couldn't very well start by asking if it was for sale.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan suddenly realized that this was what they were after.

He found it strange that the other party had suddenly come to find him.

That's true. If the other party knew about something that could increase grain production, how could they not come knocking on their door?

"But such a treasure exists."

Fang Weiyan nodded slightly, which was taken as admission.

Upon hearing this, Princess Liu Yun lit up with joy. "Then, Your Majesty, could you please sell this item to the Zhou Kingdom?"

Princess Liu Yun looked at Fang Weiyan with a cautious look in her eyes, and a hint of pitifulness in her expression.

It's so beautiful that you can't bear to refuse it.

However, Fang Weiyan was not fooled by this and simply shook his head upon hearing it.

"I'm truly sorry, but this item is extremely rare even in the Jiang Kingdom, and we cannot sell it to other countries at this time."

Fang Weiyan has already purchased far too much fertilizer in Huaxia; there's no need to supply other countries as well.

Princess Liu Yun had already guessed when she arrived that it was unlikely this item would be sold to her.

But upon hearing this, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

This is a miraculous object capable of massively increasing grain production!

Once we have this, the Zhou Kingdom will no longer need to worry about food supplies.

The thought of nearly 10,000 catties of grain per mu (unit of land area) made her feel suffocated.

"Your Majesty, is there truly no way to discuss this?"

After thinking for a moment, Princess Liu Yun was still somewhat unwilling, and immediately asked another question.

Fang Weiyan simply shook his head upon hearing this, "Jiang Kingdom so many treasures; if we're talking about buying, these things are more than enough."

"In addition, the Jiang Kingdom has recently produced new steel products, which are much better than the steel they produced before. Princess, you may go and take a look."

The steel mill has been producing quite a bit of steel lately.

Fang Weiyan also thought that this item could be sold.

As long as the money is there, there's nothing that can't be produced.

Incidentally, by selling steel to the other side, we can squeeze out their domestic steel business. Once their domestic steelmaking industry can no longer operate, then no one will buy iron ore.

Jiang Kingdom could then buy the other party's iron ore at a low price.

Unbeknownst to many, this can lead to an extra sum of money.

"In that case, Liu Yun will go back and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Princess Liu Yun immediately nodded slightly, indicating that she would go and take a look later.

However, it was clear that her response was somewhat perfunctory.

When they responded, they all seemed rather uninterested.

After all, in her opinion, how good could this kind of thing be, and what value did it have in terms of purchasing it?

It's simply too heavy to transport, and the journey would waste countless manpower and resources.

However, since Fang Weiyan had already brought it up, she naturally had no choice but to agree.

I thought I'd just look back once.

Surely the other party can't force me to make the purchase later, can they?

Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Weiyan understood what they meant, but did not point it out.

Once the other party actually goes to the steel mill and sees the finished steel with their own eyes, they will likely change their mind.

As for transportation?

The canal will be completed soon, and all those ships at the shipyard can finally be put to use.

With so many waterways, there's absolutely no need to worry about transportation capacity.

After talking for a while, Princess Liu Yun realized that Fang Weiyan had no intention of selling fertilizer, so she had no choice but to take her leave.

After leaving the palace, Princess Liu Yun thought for a moment and decided to visit the steel mill.

I went there purely as a task to complete.

But when she arrived at the steel mill a moment later, she froze on the spot.
