Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Yan Ci quickly came to the front of the hall and saluted respectfully.

"You're welcome, Mr. Yan, please sit down."

Shen Yian nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and sat on the main seat.

After sitting down, he asked straight to the point: "I didn't know that Young Master Yan came to see me today for something important, so he was in such a hurry."

Yan Ci stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I dare not deceive His Highness. I came to see His Highness today. I really have something important to ask of you."

Shen Yian took a sip of tea leisurely, put the cup on the coffee table, and then said: "Master Yan, I don't like those twists and turns, so you might as well tell me what it is."

"Yes, Your Highness, it's like this. Three of our ships were robbed by pirates in the eastern waters. Two of them were completely controlled by the pirates. The only remaining ship was forced to unload its cargo before escaping. According to the ship The sailors said that the pirates not only robbed them, but also took control of two fishing boats. All the fishermen on board were killed for resisting. This group of pirates was extremely cruel. "

After a pause, Yan Ci bowed down, as if he was going to die heroically, and said tragically: "I beg your Highness to inform Your Majesty about the rampant pirates along the coast, and I beg Your Majesty to send troops to eliminate the pirates!"

Shen Yi'an looked Yan Ci up and down. He was actually curious about how many pirates had robbed the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. In order to raid the Zhao family's military stronghold in Gusu, he spent a lot of money and hired hundreds of Japanese pirates to come up with three plans. Ship surprise.

He knew something about the merchant ships of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. No matter how big or small, they were equipped with guards and weapons. Generally, three or four merchant ships traveling together would be followed by masters. Could it be that the pirates had assembled a fleet and there were masters there?

Even if you don't think carefully, there are many loopholes in what the other party said, and the most important point is that if the pirates really assembled a fleet and robbed the merchant ships of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, they must have been organized and planned long ago. , if not, it would be too much of a coincidence.

You know, Daqian's crackdown on pirates is not small. Normal maritime trade routes will be patrolled by warships. If a pirate fleet always stays on a trade route, unless the guys from the Triton Department are blind, Otherwise, warships will be gathered to strike hard.

The loss of the caravan, rounded up, is the loss of the old man. With the old man's character of plucking feathers, if he suffers a loss, isn't this the same as cutting his aorta?

After learning everything, he would definitely put the blame on Triton. The people in Triton are not stupid, so they have always been loyal to their duties in cruising trade routes.

He wasn't bragging, but the only existences that could compete with the giant gold-swallowing beasts of Triton now were the giant gold-swallowing beasts raised by the barbarians.

Let’s get back to the topic, what is the purpose of what Yan Ci said coupled with this posture of petitioning for the people?

Are you testing the relationship between each other, or testing the relationship between him and the old man, or both, do you have any other ideas?

The air was silent for half a cup of tea. Shen Yian sighed softly: "I already know Mr. Yan's intentions. I didn't expect Mr. Yan to be so righteous. I admire him for being able to do this for the people along the coast!"

Yan Ci was startled. Did she say more? Why did the other party say that.

"I'm afraid it's hard to convince my father with my one-sided words, Young Master Yan."

Shen Yian suddenly stood up and came to Yan Ci in two steps. The breath that hit his face startled the latter, who subconsciously took half a step back.

"You might as well go to the palace with me to meet your father and tell him face to face about the pirates who killed me and killed the people." Shen Yi'an said with integrity, and his serious attitude did not look like he was pretending at all.

"Ah?" Yan Ci was confused. Why was this different from what she imagined, and she seemed to have no room to refuse.

Outside the main entrance of the palace.

Huang Lie, who was waiting for his young master in the carriage, heard the sound of wheels rolling and curiously opened a corner of the curtain to look outside.

They saw the palace carriage, which was one size larger than their carriage, stopped in front of the door with the driver driving it.

After a while, a familiar voice came into his ears. Did the young master finish the conversation so quickly?

"Mr. Yan, please." Shen Yian stretched out his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yan Ci glanced at his carriage with his peripheral vision and said through a message: [Old Huang, I am going to the palace now. You can wait here at the Prince of Chu's Mansion for a while. 】

【What? ! Going to the palace? ! 】 Huang Lie almost dropped his jaw. Why should such a good person go to the palace? !

Before he could ask more questions, Yan Ci and Shen Yian had already boarded the carriage, and the royal carriage drove quickly towards the palace under the driving of Cheng Hai.

"Little Lord..."

Huang Lie frowned and clenched his fists. Why didn't he follow the agreed procedure?

They came here this time, ostensibly to talk about the rampant pirates, but in fact they wanted to see if His Highness the King of Chu was interested in cooperating.

You must know that Tianwu City is not near the sea, so many sea goods need to be transported to the neighboring Jingzhou first, and then transported from Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is not the home ground of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. The local chamber of commerce there is relatively xenophobic. As a result, every time they want to use a road to transport some goods from Jingzhou to Tianwu City, they are maliciously obstructed and have to spend a lot of money to settle the matter.

So much so that they need Shen Yi'an's tiger skin to suppress the local chamber of commerce in Jingzhou.

Nowadays, maritime trade is becoming more and more frequent. In addition to Guyue and Japan, their fleets have also contacted some small southern archipelago countries and purchased many local specialties.

This is a huge business opportunity. The most important thing Tianhai Chamber of Commerce lacks is ships, and transportation by sea saves a lot of cost and time compared with land transportation.

As long as these things can be transported to Tianwu City with guaranteed quality and price, they will be confident that these novelties will flow among the wealthy people in Tianwu City, thus generating huge benefits.

The only obstacle now is Jingzhou. The more goods they transport there, the greater the losses will be. That's why they thought of asking Shen Yi'an for cooperation.

After so many gifts in the past few times, and in terms of cooperation, the other party could enjoy the benefits without doing anything, Huang Lie didn't think His Highness the King of Chu would refuse.

But he couldn't understand why Hao Hao had to run to the palace. What did his young master say to him?

Thinking about it, Huang Lie felt a little overwhelmed, but he couldn't do anything and could only wait.

Alas, I hope nothing goes wrong.

On the other side, on the carriage, Yan Ci took a deep breath and saw that Shen Yian had no intention of joking, so he simply told the truth about the cooperation.

"Oh?"

After listening, Shen Yian first showed great interest in cooperation.

Then he looked at Yan Ci sitting opposite, his face gradually darkened, and his dark eyes were full of indifference: "So, what Young Master Yan told me about the eradication of pirates before, was he lying to me?"
