Jiang Fan naturally took a step forward and blocked Lin Wanqing''s body without revealing any trace, blocking Lin Wanqing''s whole body behind him.


    At the same time, he smiled and said, "let''s settle down in the city. So thousands of people are blocked at the gate of the city. It''s really not a place to talk. The Lord has begun to prepare dinner for you in the palace. When all are settled, you can get to know each other in the palace in the evening."


    Batu a Shi LAN looked at Jiang Fan discontentedly. After humming, he obviously didn''t take Jiang Fan to heart at all.


    Just nodded with Zhou He. He was too lazy to talk to Jiang Fan, so he turned and went straight back to his tent.


    The national teacher nasutu was quite friendly and saluted Jiang Fan, and then turned back to the tent.


    As the mission set off again and began to enter the city again and again, Zhou he came to Jiang Fan and said, "don''t take it to heart. Barbarians have always been arrogant and unreasonable. Especially the sons of Jinzhang Khan are extremely arrogant and domineering."


    "Since they were young, they have some kind of supreme authority second only to Khan. When they grow up in this environment, their temperament will naturally become grumpy. This is also the reason why my father asked me to be the nominal envoy. If only officials like you are arranged and there are no royal children to receive them, these barbarians may get angry on the spot."


    Jiang Fan waved his hand, smiled and said: "How can I be angry with such a person who is not well-developed? It''s just that I''m not happy to watch such a person throw his face on his own territory. I hope he''s honest and don''t commit it on me during this time, otherwise... Whether he''s the son of a golden Khan or not, I have to make him regret being born in this world."


    Although he smiled, his tone was very cold.


    Of course, Jiang Fan won''t be angry because he is despised. The reason for his anger is entirely because Batu a lion blue just looked at Lin Wanqing. It''s too aggressive.


    If batu''a lion blue can restrain his temper and just go too far in his eyes, Jiang fan can tolerate it.


    But if Batu a lion blue doesn''t know good or bad and wants to fight Lin Wanqing, Jiang Fan will be angry.


    "Cough, don''t be impulsive. Although batu''a lion blue is not much liked by Jinzhang Khan, it has extremely high martial arts talent. It is said that it has now reached the level of seven grades. Among all the sons of Jinzhang Khan, his martial arts strength ranks the top three. Moreover, he is moody and has a great temper. Once there is a conflict, he may be out of control and very troublesome."


    Zhou he was startled by Jiang Fan''s tone and quickly began to persuade him.


    "Little prince, don''t be so careful. Since the prince has said that as long as people don''t die, there will be no problem, that means that the prince didn''t think that this exchange would have to be friendly. In my opinion, the prince obviously means that it doesn''t matter if there is a conflict, as long as he can win in a relatively fair situation."


    "Compared with the peaceful exchange, the Lord may prefer something to happen. The only premise is that we must not lose. Once any incident breaks out, no matter what the reason, the result must be that we have the upper hand. Properly showing our fists in front of the embassy is what the Lord wants to see."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    Zhou he was stunned by Jiang Fan and asked subconsciously, "why?"


    "Because all kinds of signs show that your Majesty''s eastern expedition is imminent, what the Lord needs to do at this time is to deter the golden account of the grassland. Even if he can''t stop the grassland from taking the opportunity to rob, he should also let the grassland have some vigilance and hesitation, so as to reduce the losses caused by being robbed as much as possible."


    Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and said.


    Zhou he suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Jiang Fan, lowered his voice and asked, "how do you know your Majesty''s eastward expedition is imminent? This is top secret military information! Even Gu Yan is not qualified to know now! How do you know?"


    "Little prince, your Majesty''s heart of the eastern expedition is well known. What is unclear is only the specific time of the eastern expedition. As for how I know that the eastern expedition is imminent... Ah, if you pay attention to the food price in Heyang City, you should know that the food price... Has risen again recently."


    Jiang Fan said that he had turned over and got on the horse, kicked the horse''s belly, took Lin Wanqing, and followed the embassy to the city.


    Zhou he stayed where he was. After a while, he came back. He quickly turned over and got on his horse and chased Jiang Fan.


    "You can conclude that your Majesty''s eastern expedition is imminent only by virtue of the rise in food prices?"


    Soon he caught up with Jiang Fan. Zhou he rode side by side with Jiang Fan and asked with an unbelievable face.


    "Otherwise? The drought in the North has lasted for so long, and the demand for food has all depended on the supply of the south. In this case, in order to ensure that there is no possible * * and panic, the food supply in the North should be the top priority."


    "Therefore, although the grain price in Heyang city has been rising recently, the increase range has always been within a reasonable range. However, the recent increases have obviously exceeded the tolerance of the people. In addition to the reduction of grain supply in the south, I can''t think of any other reason to cause this abnormal price rise."


    Jiang Fan glanced at Zhou he and then said: "Because of the severe drought, I supervised the grain merchants in the whole city and did not allow any hoarding and random price increase. However, the demand for grain is here. Once the supply decreases, the price surge is inevitable. What can make the emperor think that it is more important than the people in the North to eat? Of course, it is the eastern expedition, and it can only be the eastern expedition."


    Zhou he was speechless as Jiang Fan said.


    He opened his mouth, but after all, he couldn''t speak a refutation. Finally, he could only sigh decadent.


    "Come on, little prince, we can''t control these things. If we think too much, it''s just increasing our troubles. So, why don''t you tell me something about Changsheng sect? I''m very interested in it. That sutu, who was called the first wise man on the grassland just now, is also the national teacher on the grassland and the Pope of Changsheng sect. Doesn''t that mean that Changsheng sect is the national religion on the grassland?"


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    "Yes, Changsheng religion is indeed the national religion of the grassland, and it is deeply valued by the golden tent Khan. It can be said that the Pope of Changsheng religion is second only to the golden tent Khan in the grassland. If compared with our great Zhou Dynasty, it is equivalent to the identity of my father king in the great Zhou Dynasty, and has greater power than my father king."


    Zhou He nodded and then said, "in fact, after pushing forward for decades, Changsheng religion is only a small sect in the grassland. But with the current golden account Khan gradually taking power, Changsheng religion has also developed rapidly. The two can be said to complement each other. In short... We must respect the religion of Changsheng religion, otherwise, those grassland people will go crazy."
