I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Therefore, people of integrity have always been regarded as potential prime ministers, that is, the future prime ministers.

However, the Chancellor must also survive to have a chance of becoming the Prime Minister.

Jia Renyi has seen too many talented people fall.

So Jia Renyi pulled Fan Jian aside and gave him some instructions.

Fan Jian was also very moved.

Jia Renyi is an envoy and will enter the cabinet in the future, but he actually values himself, a sixth-rank official, so much.

Fan Jianli said immediately: "Your Excellency, I will definitely not let down the trust of His Majesty and the Cabinet!"

The banquet dispersed.

The next day, Fan Jian, under the escort of soldiers, crossed the Luzhou Mountains and arrived at the northern grasslands.

As soon as he crossed the Luzhou Mountains, Fan Jian saw a large market.

He pointed to the market and asked the guide, "Is this newly established?"

The guide said, "Yes, it was set up by Minister Jia, who said that it was too difficult for merchants from the Northern Mang to cross the mountains, so they simply traded on the grasslands."

This market is obviously in the style of the Han people, and there are low walls built around the market.

There were also many houses in the market, not the tents of Beimang.

Moreover, the location of this market is very good, backed by the exit of Luzhou Mountains.

Fan Jian understood clearly that it seemed that the envoy and the commander-in-chief had already made plans.

He memorized the mountains and rivers he passed by along the way, rode for two days and one night, and finally arrived at the Lone Wolf Tribe.

Taking out the seal representing the envoy, Haot, the Khan of the Lone Wolf Tribe, obviously did not expect that the envoy of the Great Zhou would arrive so soon!

Fan Jian was also looking at the city of the Lone Wolf Tribe along the way.

Although Beimang also imitated the Great Zhou in building cities, the city of the Lone Wolf Tribe was obviously very simple.

In the eyes of Fan Jian, a scholar, there are loopholes everywhere.

However, the cities of Beimang are different from those of Dazhou.

The one-meter-high city wall is mainly used to protect against wind and rain.

The head nobles lived in luxurious tents in the city.

The poor lived in shabby tents with their backs against the city walls.

Outside the city, there are herds of cattle and sheep.

Fan Jian saw all of this.

These poor tribesmen lived in tattered tents, and the whole way was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Fan Jian asked the guides on his left and right: "Why is there so much wine in Beimang?"

The Beimang people are not good at farming, but brewing wine requires a lot of grain.

So before setting off, Fan Jian read the record manual of the Host and Guest Department. In Beimang, wine is considered a luxury among the nobles.

The guide immediately said, "This is the reason for setting up the border trade market. The Prime Minister has gathered strong liquor from around Luzhou and sold it to Beimang at a low price."

It turns out that setting up a border trade market has this effect!

Is this the reason why Your Majesty advocates opening border trade markets?

That's for sure!

I didn't expect that Your Majesty is so far-sighted.

Drunken soldiers and herdsmen could be seen along the way.

All of this is different from the image of the fierce and warlike Northern Mang soldiers recorded in the records of the Ministry of Hosts and Guests.

Can trade really have such an effect?

Fan Jian was greatly shocked.

Fan Jian's delegation finally arrived at the gate of Lone Wolf City.

Hao Te gritted his teeth and led his military advisor Fang Cheng to receive Fan Jian.

Hout is a big barbarian, but his cunning eyes reveal his scheming character.

The Lone Wolf Tribe has always been the "wise men" of Beimang.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." Hott said with pretended enthusiasm.

Fan Jian put away his smile and said, "Haut Khan! Since you have submitted to our Great Zhou, why don't you kneel when you see the imperial edict?"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Hout's eyes.

You are such a good Zhou! When I take Luzhou, I will send troops to Kyoto to make the dog emperor kowtow and admit his mistakes!

But Hout has wolf-like characteristics and knows how to endure.

He laughed dryly and said, "I am wearing armor and cannot kneel down to worship you."

Fan Jian did not continue to dwell on this matter and then read out the imperial edict.

He personally conferred the title of Guihan Marquis on Hao Te of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time moved the Lone Wolf Tribe to live in the inland area of Luzhou.

Hott gladly accepted the imperial edict, and then took Fan Jian into the Khan's tent.

"Your Excellency, this Khan has specially prepared a welcoming banquet for you!"

Fan Jian frowned and said, "Gui Han Hou, surrender is a big deal. Once the news leaks out, it may affect the plan."

"Shouldn't we immediately count the tribes and prepare to migrate inland?"

However, Hao Te pulled Fan Jian and said, "It's not too late to talk after we have a drink. Come on, please take a seat!"

The banquet at Beimang also opened Fan Jian's eyes.

Several beautiful women were singing and dancing in the tent, and the leaders of the Lone Wolf tribe were drinking and partying.

In addition to drinking, Fan Jian also saw several leaders sprinkling a white powder into the wine.

Mix the powder with wine and drink it all.

The alcohol took effect on the efficacy of the Ecstasy Powder, and the skin of these leaders soon turned red.

Then he took off his clothes even more crazily, mixed with the dancers, singing and dancing.

As a civil official, Fan Jian was well-read.

Of course he recognized it as the Soul-Stirring Powder.

Taking a deep breath, Minister Jia actually sold the Ecstasy Powder to the northern grasslands!

Fan Jian had a completely new understanding of that elegant scholar.

Hao pulled Fan Jian to the table, and a young dancer brought drinks.

During the banquet, Fan Jian repeatedly asked Hao Te when he would surrender.

But Haute always refused under the pretext of being drunk.

After the banquet, Fan Jian was sent to the tent next door.

As soon as he entered the tent, Fan Jian woke up.

"There is something fishy about the Lone Wolf Tribe's surrender." Fan Jian said directly as the tent was full of members of the delegation.

Everyone in the delegation looked surprised.

If Hout was pretending to surrender, then their delegation would be in danger.

Fan Jian said calmly, "Guardian Hong, how is the matter I asked you to pay attention to?"

Guard Hong is an imperial guard sent by the emperor himself to protect the diplomatic envoys. He is a sixth-level warrior.

Guard Hong immediately said, "Sir, there are many experts outside our tent."

Now everyone's faces looked even uglier.

Although Hout seems rude, he is actually very considerate.

These experts are responsible for monitoring the delegation.

Fan Jian said seriously: "We must report this news to the court."

Guard Hong said: "There are all Wolf Clan experts outside, they are very proficient in the art of pursuit."

When they heard the word "wolf tribe", the faces of several Luzhou guides in the delegation changed.

Although Beimang had never invaded Luzhou, martial arts masters from Beimang often visited Luzhou.

There are three tribes in Beimang: tiger, wolf and bear, which are equivalent to three different sects.

Among them, the chief of the bear tribe, Master Shan Zuo, is the only grandmaster in Beimang.

There are also many masters from the tiger and wolf tribes.

The people of the wolf tribe are very cruel and good at assassination and pursuit.

Every year, the Luzhou martial arts world would fight against the masters of the wolf clan.

The two sides had deep-seated grievances, and the news that the Wolf Clan had massacred a small sect was also spreading throughout Luzhou.

Upon hearing that it was a master from the Wolf Clan, Fan Jian also fell silent.

At this time, a guard said: "Sir, I can disguise myself as you to attract their attention, and you can find a way to escape."

This guard is from the Western Factory.

Xiao Weizi sorted out the skills in the armory and conducted systematic training for the soldiers of the Western Factory.

One of them is the art of disguise.
