Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 33 Opportunity

The moment the velvet curtains were pulled back, the scene was frozen. The unrivaled brilliance that Wufeng entered the arena just now was completely covered by the elegance of the three women who had just stepped into the hall door. The originally noisy hall was at this moment Silent and silent, both the men and women of the guests seemed to be overwhelmed by the fact that the three women had the same appearance but different temperaments.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Wufeng couldn't find any more suitable words to describe the beauty of the three girls. Any extra praise seemed obscene to the three girls. The voice deep in the throat was immediately choked by the master again. At this moment, it seemed that no one wanted to destroy it.

It was the master who came to his senses first, and his originally steady steps became light at this moment. Wei Zhongxing walked quickly to the front of the hall, showing an elegant aristocratic etiquette, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation , said loudly: "The three princesses come to the humble house, the walls are shining brightly, please come here."

"Uncle Wei, you are too polite." The girl who looked a little older at the front politely returned the gift, "It is an honor for my nieces to be able to attend your New Year's Eve dinner."

The hall suddenly turned into a beehive again, and buzzing discussions permeated the whole hall. Needless to say, the content of the discussion naturally fell on the three women who had just come recently. Wufeng managed to gather his intoxicated mind, tried his best to calm down his emotions, and secretly smiled bitterly. It seems that the charm of a beautiful woman is indeed invincible. At this time, it seems that no one remembers him at all. The figures of the three women were circling around, and wherever they went, a large group of noble men followed and introduced them graciously.

"My lord, you seem to be a little emotional?" Ju Zhen who was standing by the side asked with a smile.

"Well, this can be considered a kind of happiness. What a proud feat it is to win the favor of a beauty, but this method is a bit too mentally retarded." Wufeng looked at the The crowd surrounded by the three girls said half teasingly, but felt a little upset for no reason.

"My fair lady, gentlemen are good-natured, it's human nature." Ju Zhen is probably one of the very few men who have not been seduced. Firstly, it is due to age, and secondly, he is well-educated after all, and his self-control is stronger than ordinary people. much.

"However, although these three princesses are in exile in the imperial capital, their father pinned his hope of restoring the country on them. There are rumors that whoever can avenge their subjugation, no matter what their status is, is willing The princess is getting married." Ju Zhen continued with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Wu Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

Wufeng immediately became vigilant, and his mind was also thinking rapidly. This Juzhen tried again and again to find out what his intentions were, could it be that he came here for something? He smiled quietly and said: "Well, the soldiers of the Southern Military Region will work hard. With this promise, I think it will be difficult for the Machi Khans not to surrender!"

"Haha, my lord is really humorous, but the charm of these three girls is really powerful, even the old man is itchy. If he is twenty years younger, maybe the old man will really pursue it."

Although he laughed out loud, Wufeng still sensitively caught the disappointment in Juzhen's eyes, and Wufeng couldn't help but become more puzzled. Could it be that this old guy really has some kind of conspiracy?

"My lord, have you read the newspapers these days? They have given you rave reviews! I heard that the Imperial Press and Publication Office has ordered the recovery of the original imperial administrative map and plans to republish it, including the Northern Luzon area. In the map inside, the two things that people talk about most in the imperial capital are the war on the southern front and the development of North Luzon. Ordinary people are eager for the large-scale entry of specialty products such as tobacco and coffee in North Luzon. Empire, to alleviate the inconvenience caused by the soaring prices of these two items caused by the war on the southern front." A middle-aged man in Western Continental uniform continued the conversation, with a huge ebony pipe dangling from his mouth , with a pair of black eyes under a head of yellow hair, and a black mustache under a hooked nose, it can be seen that he is of Caucasian descent.

Wufeng nodded. This person was introduced to him just now, and he is also a close friend of Wei Zhongxing. Robson, the editor-in-chief of "Imperial Business Weekly", has an extraordinary influence in the imperial business circle.

"What Mr. Luo said is true. Northern Luzon is originally a land rich in products, but its economy is underdeveloped and its road transportation infrastructure is relatively poor. It may still be difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the near future. However, Mr. Li plans to step up his efforts in the economic development and infrastructure construction of the North Luzon area. I believe there will be a big change in the near future. Here, I also hope that Mr. Luo can introduce more about North Luzon and Northwest China through the media. Due to the situation in the county, I call on businessmen to invest in Northern Luzon and the Northwest, and Li promises that they will not return empty-handed." Wufeng replied with a smile.

"Luo must try his best. I heard that the Luobei people have also reconciled with Mr. Li. Is it true?" Robson asked suddenly with his eyes flickering.

"This cannot be said in this way. The Naluobei people were nomadic barbarians on the Tengger grassland. The reason why they plundered everywhere was due to their strong military strength, but after being defeated twice by Li, their attitude changed. They are not as rampant as they used to be, and opening the Northern Commercial Road is also beneficial to them. They can get a considerable amount of income from transit tariffs without taking the risk of failure. I think they can figure it out without our teaching, and naturally everything will be calm. However, these guys are not fully civilized after all, and if they want to coexist peacefully, they must have a strong armed force as a backing, otherwise, once they think that they can gain greater benefits by plundering, they will immediately make a comeback." Wu Feng's thoughts turned sharply, slowly Saying these words so that the other party can't find any loopholes to catch, after all, it is difficult for the vast majority of citizens to accept friendship with the mortal enemy of the empire.

The people nearby felt the same when they heard what Wufeng said. The Naluobei people lived in the frontier for a long time, and they always used force as the only way to solve problems. If you want to win their respect, you have to be stronger and more domineering than them. This is the only rule for survival in this land in today's world.

Just as the guests were talking endlessly about the war on the southern front and the development of Northern Luzon, the dinner party finally started.

As the soothing and melodious music sounded, the guests took their seats one after another. This is a self-serve buffet that imitated the Western Continent. Waiters dressed in Western Continental costumes shuttled through the crowd like flowing water, presenting dishes one after another. The guests each held a knife and fork to choose their own favorites. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and casual, and the guests also form their own circles, chatting while eating.

This cold meal is actually not the main event, it will end soon, and the after-dinner reception will be on time.

The spacious hall is covered with finely embroidered cashmere carpets of various colors. Anyone who knows the goods will know at a glance that this is a wave art craftsman from the plateau area of ​​the Central Mainland. Priceless. The well-crafted fireplaces on both sides of the hall emit bursts of heat, and even a frozen person can return to normal after walking in here. The ladies took off their fur coats one after another, revealing their slender or bloated figures, and the singing of warblers filled the hall.

Wufeng didn't have much interest in this kind of reception, but it was precisely these imported products from the Western Continent that attracted the so-called high society of the empire and quickly became popular. Wu Feng took a glass of authentic Royal Salute Whiskey from the Western Continent presented by the waiter, and took a sip. The alcohol stimulated his tongue, which made Wu Feng feel extraordinarily comfortable.

Well, the famous wine from the Western Continent is really not bad, no less than the "hero's blood" produced in his own territory, although the flavors are different. Wufeng walked to the corner of the hall while quietly tasting the fine wine, hoping to be quiet for a while, but soon someone followed.

"My lord, you don't seem to be very interested in the banquet?" Robson and another man followed.

"Oh, no, I'm just not used to this kind of occasion." Wufeng replied with a polite smile.

"This is Mr. Lawang, the representative of the Indian Kingdom General Chamber of Commerce, my good friend. Like your master, he only arrived in the imperial capital the day before yesterday." Robson introduced with a smile.

"Oh? Indian Kingdom? It's a pleasure to meet you, a friend from afar." Wu Feng enthusiastically hugged each other in the way of meeting in the mainland to show his closeness.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." The other party showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his dark skin looked very healthy.

"My lord, Mr. Lawang came to the imperial capital to visit you specially." Robson's voice lowered.

"Well, what do you need Mr. Lawang to come to the imperial capital from far away in India to find me?" Wufeng was very surprised.

"This is not a place for conversation. I would like to ask my lord to go over there and have a detailed talk." Glancing around, Lawang said in a non-standard Tang dialect.

Wufeng nodded silently, and the three of them left the hall unobtrusively, and went to the courtyard outside the hall. This courtyard is extremely spacious, with many corridors running through it, forming countless quiet small gardens.

Lawang briefly introduced his mission. The Indian kingdom, which was considered huge by the outside world, is now in an extremely difficult situation. The current nominal king, Mower III, is cowardly by nature, and the Hyderabad tribe he belongs to is also declining under his leadership. The Yakuan tribe in the west and the Tik tribe in the south began to grow and gradually competed with the Hyderabad tribe~IndoMTL.com~Movor III has gradually lost the ability to control the entire Indian tribe, and some small tribes It also began to rely on the other two big tribes to obey the orders of Mower III. The Punjab tribe living in Northern Luzon is a typical example.

Relying on the support of the Tik tribe in the west, the Punjab tribe continued to harass the northern Luzon border, and even developed to ignore the central kingdom, and began to plunder the caravans of the Hyderabad tribe. The power spread rapidly to the north, which caused Hyde The great worry of the nobles in the Raba tribe. You must know that although the Indian kingdom is rich in products, it has a large population. The nobles don't get much wealth from ordinary people. The profits brought by caravan trade are their biggest source of money.

Although the Hyderabad tribe was very angry at the behavior of the Punjabi, they were very cautious. First, they did not want to directly confront the Shantiq tribe behind the Punjabi, and second, the Luobei people in the north also involved Hyderabad. The tribe has too much energy, so even if the Punjab tribe controlled the important business route of the Hyderabad tribal caravan leading to the Grand Duchy of Luzon and the Duchy of Komini, they still held back. Trade with the countries of the Hansen Alliance to the west is maintained.

But now with the strong support of the Tik tribe, the Punjab tribe is even more arrogant, constantly sending armed personnel to harass the southern part of the Hyderabad tribe's residence, and on several occasions even sent tribal troops directly into the hinterland of the Hyderabad tribe The caravan was robbed, which aroused great indignation among the elders of the tribes of Hyderabad.

Just at this time, Wufeng's forces entered Northern Luzon and took control of this area. This made the nobles of the Hyderabad tribe overjoyed. The power of the Tik tribe, so there was a trip to the imperial capital of Lawang.
