The next day.

Beiyue Crown Prince Bei Jinheng led a delegation of Beiyue envoys to the border town of Western Chu. Also included in their delegation were the Seventh Prince Bei Jinyan and the Second Young Master of Yan, Yan Ziyou.

Friends were extremely excited to meet each other. Yan Ziyou, the second son of the Yan family, was extremely excited to see Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao. They were his saviors!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the two countries' delegations have stayed in the border town for three days.

During this period, the talks between the two sides went very smoothly. Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Prince Chu Chenxiao of Western Chu and Prince Bei Jinheng of Beiyue signed their names on the border trade agreement between the two countries.

The border trade agreement between the two countries has officially come into effect, which lays the foundation for tranquility on the border and peace between the two countries.

In the decades that followed, there was no war between the Western Chu State and the Northern Yue State, but that is a story for later.

These days, Ouyang Yunyao and his second brother Ouyang Yunxiang have not been idle either.

The shop they purchased in the border town has been renovated, and Ouyang Yunxiang has also made arrangements for the several selected shopkeepers.

The three shops that Ouyang Yunyao bought in the border town some time ago have been renovated, and this time he handed them over to his second brother to manage.

They had already discussed in Kyoto what these shops would do, and the goods that needed to be imported had already been put into the space by Ouyang Yunyao, who placed the goods in a large warehouse in their general's mansion.

His second brother will arrange all the shops here in the next few days and choose a date to open them.

For the past few days, the city has been filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and the people are jubilant. The war has subsided, and they no longer have to fight in their border town, and their lives can return to peace.

This evening.

Ouyang Yunyao and Ouyang Yunxiang returned to the mansion and saw their father Ouyang Xiao, Chu Chenjing and third brother Ouyang Yunhan already sitting in the hall, the three of them chatting happily.

Upon seeing his son and daughter return, Ouyang Xiao looked at them and said happily, "Yao'er, Yunxiang, it's signed! It's signed! We've finally signed the border trade agreement with Beiyue Country!"

Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Dad, they signed it so quickly? Did they accept the conditions we proposed?"

"Hahahaha... Bei Jinheng and the others all approved of the agreement we drafted and didn't raise any objections!" Ouyang Xiao laughed heartily.

Chu Chenjing pulled Ouyang Yunyao to sit beside him and said gently:

"Yaoyao, the trade terms we have proposed are mutually beneficial to both countries and do not harm the interests of Beiyue Nation."

"That's right! These clauses fully take into account the win-win situation of both countries." Ouyang Yunyao said proudly.

Chu Chenjing nodded and looked at her affirmatively:

"Yaoyao, according to your suggestion, we proposed to repair and widen the road from Biancheng to Ancheng, and build a Peace Pavilion in the middle."

"What is Beiyue Kingdom's response to this proposal?" Ouyang Yunyao was stunned for a moment. She was just saying it as a joke, but she didn't expect Chu Chenjing to actually say it out loud.

"Yaoyao, they all agree that your suggestion is very good." Chu Chenjing had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of doting as he looked at Ouyang Yunyao.

Chu Chenjing paused and said, "Yaoyao, the two delegations will discuss the details further tomorrow. If all goes well, we can depart the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao asked with a hint of doubt, "Leaving the day after tomorrow? Aren't we still going to Danyan Country?"

"Yes," Chu Chenjing nodded, "We are starting from this border town and heading to the capital of Danyan Kingdom."

Ouyang Yunyao frowned, "Isn't Tuoba Di's wedding in eight days? Why are you leaving so early?"

Chu Chenjing patiently explained, "The Beiyue Kingdom has also received an invitation. They've invited Big Brother to join them. Since we're going together, we can only take the same carriage as them."

He paused and continued, "It takes about five days to get from the border town to the capital of Danyan Kingdom."

Ouyang Xiao also nodded, "Yao'er, the prince is right. It will take five days for a carriage to get to the capital of Danyan Kingdom from here."

Ouyang Yunyao pondered for a moment, then looked at the people in the hall with a smile in her eyes and said, "Ajing, why do we have to take a carriage? Why not fly a plane?"

Ouyang Yunhan quickly reminded: "Yao'er, what did you say? Drive that 'big iron bird'? Wouldn't that expose your big iron bird?"

Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows and said indifferently:

"Third brother, what's the harm if they know? Exposing my big iron bird is a good opportunity for them to see it. This way, some people from Beiyue Country will not dare to deal with us easily."

Ouyang Yunxiang agreed and continued:

"Yun Han, my little sister is right. If we let Beiyue know that we in Western Chu have such a miraculous giant iron bird, it will have a deterrent effect on Beiyue and other countries!"

Then he continued, "Even if we don't let Beiyue Country know now, they will know soon. What other line is my sister planning to open?"

This line uses a 'big iron bird' to travel between Kyoto and the border towns, and anyone can ride it as long as they pay money."

Ouyang Yunxiang couldn't tell what the thread was. He had heard Ouyang Yunyao mention these words when they were talking these past few days. He thought this method was very novel.

"What line?" Ouyang Yunhan asked in confusion. Ouyang Xiao also frowned and looked at his son and daughter.

Before Ouyang Yunyao could speak, Chu Chenjing explained, "Father-in-law, Third Brother, and Second Brother are talking about the line that Yaoyao envisioned. They wanted to use a large iron bird to open a flight route from Kyoto to the border town, so that people on both sides can travel back and forth conveniently."

"That's great! This way it will be convenient for us to go back to the capital." Ouyang Yunhan understood and said happily that it would be convenient for him to go back from now on.

But Ouyang Xiao immediately objected: "Anyone can ride? Does this mean you, Prince Jing, and Yao'er have to drive this giant bird to pick people up? That's not okay!"

"Dad, when we open this route, we don't need Jing and I to fly it ourselves. We plan to train a group of dedicated people to be in charge of the piloting.

Anyone who can afford the money can ride this giant bird." Ouyang Yunyao looked at her father and replied with a smile.

"It's good that you don't have to drive yourself. How much would it be appropriate to charge for a trip?" Ouyang Xiao asked.

"Is it appropriate to charge three hundred taels of silver for one ride?" Ouyang Yunyao asked everyone.

"It's too little! Little sister, you have to pay at least five hundred taels of silver!" said the businessman Ouyang Yunxiang.

"Well, okay, let's not talk about collecting the money first, let's talk about how to get to Danyan Country." Ouyang Yunyao didn't know why she was talking so much that she didn't even recognize her home.

She then looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "A Jing, what do you think?"

"Yaoyao, I think what you said makes sense. I will discuss this matter with my elder brother later..."
