Originally, Tianxian was going to be arranged to rest in some strange place, but this time Hongyan directly arranged Tianxian in the palace, not far from Hongyan's bedroom. ∈♀，x.

Luke complained about this, but Tian Xian didn't care about it anymore, and Tian Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of Luke's stern face and the way he whispered softly to Hongyan.

Dinner was eaten by Tianxian and Hongyan, Hongyan cooked it herself, don't look at her now that she is pregnant, but her movements are very sharp, and the meal has been served in a blink of an eye.

"Sister Hongyan, why don't you take that Luke off, go to me, I'll raise you, as long as you cook for me every day. ”

"It's beautiful to think!" Hong Yan poked back his head that Tian Xian had come over, "I used to pester me to sing, and now you still want me to be a fire lady for you, I don't want to be jealous of those little beauties of yours, just stay here and see when my brother can give me a baby to play." ”

Tianxian was immediately defeated......

Hongyan seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about letting the sky go away, and after a series of indiscriminate bombardments, Luke was able to return in time to bring back the news that Emperor Gustas had agreed to meet with him.

He didn't change his clothes, so he got into the carriage with Luke and went straight to the depths of the palace.

On the carriage, Tian Xian could clearly feel the hostility from Luke, and this hostility was undisguised.

Maybe it's because he is too close to Hongyan and has caused dissatisfaction with this husband, but Tianxian doesn't want to pay attention to it, he has been close to Hongyan since he was a child, he is closer than his sister, and he even has to be counted as half a mother, and this little jealousy of men is nothing at all.

"It was a secret meeting. Luke said suddenly, "I don't want to leave any traces." ”

"I'm not going to talk about it to outsiders. "I also hope to complete this transaction in secret, after all, the less people know about those lakes, the better." ”

"Then you better not be surprised to see the Emperor later. ”

Tian Xian was puzzled, and was planted by the carriage to an unknown place, and from the environment, it was naturally still in the palace, but it was not a tall palace in front of him, just a house that looked like a warehouse.

"Go in, the Emperor is waiting for you. Luke closed the car door, "I'll wait here and see you back when the time comes." ”

Such a mysterious ...... Tian Xian muttered and looked around, and sure enough, he found a lot of dark whistles.

He placed the Desert Dust Sword on the ground outside the door and was searched, and Tianxian was allowed to enter the big warehouse-like house.

Push the door in, and it's pitch black inside.

The door slammed behind him, and the large room was silent.

Although he couldn't see his five fingers, Tian Xian knew that there were several people in front of him, one of them was sitting there, with a luxurious robe on his body, and his energy tentacles could clearly "see" this.

A flame suddenly ignited, and a light appeared between Tian Xian and the man sitting in the chair.

The dim light reflected the empty room, which appeared to be an abandoned warehouse.

The man sitting in the chair was dressed in a gorgeous robe, but the light was too dim to see his face, and behind him stood several people, who could not even see their clothes clearly, only human figures.

Of course, in fact, Tianxian can see everyone's hair clearly.

And the solemn colors on the faces of these three people are naturally in full view.

There was no doubt that the old man sitting in the chair was Gustas the Great, and the two behind him were supposed to be his personal guards.

"Does the Gustas Empire like to do business in the dark?" said Tian Xian, shrugging his shoulders, "and not a seat for the guests. ”

After listening to Tianxian's words, the wrinkles on Emperor Gustas's face moved a few times, and he said slowly: "I'm sorry, the conditions are simple, let's just take a break." ”

Tian Xian naturally didn't care about this, looked around, and said, "Why are you in this kind of place, and are you really Emperor Gustas?"

"This is for reasons of secrecy, and since I have promised to see you, there is no need to use a stand-in. ”

In addition to being dignified, this old man's eyes were also full of wisdom, although Tian Xian had never seen Emperor Gustas, he was sure that he was not a simple person, at least he should have the weight to influence this transaction.

"Okay, then let's get down to business, I hear you seem to be hesitant about the deal I'm proposing, I don't know what you're hesitating about?

"Or ...... A hundred times as much gold still won't satisfy your appetite?"

Tian Xian is now wealthy, stretched out his hands and said: "If there are any conditions, you can put it forward, I will definitely meet your request." ”

Emperor Gustas didn't ask for anything, he stared at the sky for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know, what are you going to do with these lake waters?"

"It's not part of our trade, I'm just buying the right to use it. ”

Emperor Gustas pondered for a while, and then spoke again: "I am very satisfied with your price, this wealth is already very great for Gustas, but I am also very afraid now. ”

"Fear, Honorable Gustas the Great, gold does not eat people. ”

"Naturally, my fear is not gold, but the trouble that will come with it!" "Emperor Gustas paused, "On the human continent today, you are the one who is in trouble, and what I am worried about now is that we have obtained gold, but at the same time, we will also get into trouble related to you." ”

"Gustas is a peaceful and peaceful country, although monsters are rampant, the land is barren, but we have no wars, no displacement, we have lived in peace for many years, we do need wealth, but we will not destroy our original lives for this. ”

Tian Xian understood.

It turned out that he was seen as a beast of the wilderness.

"Am I right to worry that I'm going to do something with the lake and that the troublesome people will find out that it has something to do with Gustas and get Gustas involved in the strife?"

"Yes!" replied Emperor Gustas without hesitation, "I honestly want this wealth, it will reduce many of us from starvation and disease, but if more people have to suffer disasters for this......"

"I see!" interrupted Gustas the Great with a smirk, "that's why you're asking me how to use the water, if that's the case...... Then I have a brand new tiyì. ”

"New Tiyì?"

"Yes!" said Tian Xian clearly: "I will pay two hundred times the gold! buy all the water of the lake, from now on Gustas has nothing to do with that lake, you can keep the existing lake, but you must not go near the lake again, as if you had never found it." ”

"Completely cut off our connection with the lake......"

"Yes, and I can answer that I need the lake because it is easy to access the Silent Forest, and you must already know that I have brought back many elves and lion people from the Eastern Kingdom, and that the connection with the Eastern Kingdom will not be severed, and that it will be very convenient for me to have the lake, and that this kind of well-known thing will not involve Gustas, and as long as Gustas stays away from the lake, he will not be implicated in any trouble. ”

Gustas the Great pondered.

The wealth obtained by relying on the power of the lake now accounts for 30% of Gustas's annual revenue, and if this deal is successful, 200 times the gold income, that is, a full sixty years of financial income at once, this wealth can make a huge change for Gustas.

However, there is no such thing as a free benefit, in case this boy brings trouble...... Each of his troubles was too much for a country like Gustas to handle.

Seeing that Emperor Gustas hesitated, Tian Xian said softly: "If you are worried about trouble, then you don't have to ...... Because my dearest is here, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have made this transaction. ”

Emperor Gustas showed a little light in his eyes: "Red flame?"

"Yes, you should know that she is my sister. ”

"Well......" Emperor Gustas did not take a stand.

Tianxian sighed: "Between our sisters and brothers, it is not the kind of cold family affection of the emperor's family!"

"We, Gustas, do not have zài cold imperial affection. ”

Tian Xian smiled, "Okay, but it seems that you still need more time to think about it, so let's stop for today, I will stay here for a few days to get together with my sister, you can find me at any time." ”

"One more thing, although it has nothing to do with Gustas, my elves will come to Gustas in the near future and teach you how to grow elven fruit trees, so you don't have to worry about people starving to death. ”

Emperor Gustas nodded imperceptibly.

Tian Xian knew that there would be no results today, so he bowed and exited the warehouse.

As the party who took the initiative to trade, Tianxian was not worried that Emperor Gustas would refuse, because this wealth was too important to Gustas, as long as he could dispel Emperor Gustas's fifty percent concerns, he would consider trading, which would only take a little time.

When the time comes......

Tian Xian has even seen the elves using the lake water to shuttle freely in the silent forest, it is difficult for ordinary people to dig up any treasures in the silent forest, but the elves living in the eastern kingdom are completely different, and when the time comes, they must turn the land that humans can't set foot on upside down.

Tian Xian, who had a wishful thinking in his heart, received a bombshell news when he was having breakfast with Hongyan the next day.

"Marriage!?" Tianxian, who was drinking porridge, almost sprayed red on his face.

"Well, that's what Luke said to me when he came back yesterday. Hongyan said with certainty.

"Marriage...... What's going on here?"

"It is Gustas who chooses a princess to marry you and strengthen the relationship between the two countries, which is called a political marriage. Hong Yan explained with a serious face.

Tianxian rolled his eyes: "I mean, how can this happen? That old man is obviously too late to hide from me, how can he want to get married!?"

Hong Yan thought about it and continued: "The marriage is indeed very strange, and what is even more strange is that in fact, Emperor Gustas did not have a daughter of the right age to marry you. ”

Tianxian's eyes widened, "What...... What?"

Hong Yan counted his fingers, "There are many heirs of the Great Emperor, but the princess is pitiful, and now she is the closest to your age...... I'm twelve years older than you, and I'm already married. ”

"Oh yes! there's another one!" Hong Yan suddenly remembered something, "The little princess is three years old this year, not much different from you, and she is not married!"

Tian Xian really didn't know if Hongyan's serious appearance was teasing himself......

"Three years old...... It's really a flowery age, I hope she doesn't eat milk anymore. "Idle and powerless......

"What's wrong with being three years old, after fifteen years you'll be a beautiful girl. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but wail: "Sister Hongyan, you should still be my sister, right? Fifteen years! How can there be such a marriage?"

"Anyway, it seems that the Emperor wants some kind of assurance from you. ”

Tianxian sighed, propped his cheeks and muttered: "At the same time, I don't want outsiders to really think that Gustas wants to have anything to do with me, this marriage is really powerful...... Give me a fifteen-year beautiful look forward to. ”

"Little bastard!" Hong Yan poked his finger at the door of Tianxian's head, "How many years can a woman be beautiful? Fifteen years later, your current little beauty is already old, but this princess happens to be young and beautiful, what's wrong ......with it?"

"Sister Hongyan, why do I think you are more active than me?"

"In this way, the descendants of our Fire Mist Clan will be endless. ”

Tianxian was defeated in an instant.

For this kind of marriage, Tianxian also understands that this is just a blank check, it is impossible to really marry a princess, and even if Gustas really wants to marry, there is no such princess to marry.

Moreover, Tianxian had to admire Emperor Gustas, who looked like he was seventy years old, and actually had a three-year-old daughter, which was amazing......

On the same day, this news was confirmed by Gustas the Great himself, but Gustas the Great's request was to announce the matter at the right time.

And when is the right time, this is up to Gustas himself.

Tianxian only thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Anyway, he didn't harbor evil intentions, it doesn't matter how the other party takes precautions, it is only right to quickly promote this matter.

For the next few days, Tian Xian met with Gustas the Great in the warehouse every day to discuss some detailed matters, and on the third day signed an agreement that only a few people on the continent knew the full contents.

After getting the agreement, Tian Xian read it several times, and then happily put it away.

"Young man, this is a private agreement, I hope you will remember it!"

"Of course, this is not a country-to-country deal, but my personal reputation has always been good, and the first shipment of gold will arrive in three days, so please have your place ready!" )
