West Lake, pavilion.

Xiao Heng stood quietly by the fence, looking at the waves of the water with rays of fish scales in front of him.

As the storytelling says, the world's general trend will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time... Now, an unprecedentedly powerful country on the grassland is rising, and there is not much time left for Xiao Heng.

"Young Master Xiao is so interested. Why not recite a poem like this beautiful scenery?"

A voice came from behind Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng smiled slightly when he heard this, turned around and bowed, "Young Master Qin."

"I've been waiting for a long time." Wanyan Qin also bowed according to the Han rituals.

Looking at this young master Qin, Xiao Heng suddenly remembered the saying - the beauty of the clothes is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia.

Although the Great Golden Royal Family in front of me was still wearing the traditional Jin men's clothes and the traditional braids of the Jin men, his speech and etiquette were no different from those of the Song people... I closed my eyes and thought he was a genuine Song people!

More advanced civilizations do have this kind of overflow phenomenon, which makes others unconsciously learn and imitate... If Mr. Qin brought a scarf and put on the clothes of the Song people, Xiao Heng could not think of what the difference between him and the Song people was.

"Why did Young Master Xiao look at me like this?" Wanyan Qin touched her braid, her eyes becoming a little sharp, "Can she look down on me, a barbarian?"

"I was just thinking that if Mr. Qin hadn't insisted on dressing up her clothes and listening to the sound, it would be really hard to tell whether you were a Song person..." Xiao Heng explained with a smile.

"Oh?" Wanyan Qin's face was still not that good-looking.

"I wonder when Mr. Qin started learning Chinese?" Xiao Heng asked curiously.

"I learned from my husband since I was a child." Wanyan Qin frowned without notice.

"Oh, that's it... Sorry, I'm just a little curious." Xiao Heng didn't expect that this would be the result. No wonder he speaks Chinese so well... He has a language environment since he was a child, no wonder he can't hear any difference, it's no different from his mother tongue.

"..." Wanyan Qin didn't know what Xiao Heng was saying this, but just stared at him with some displeasure.

"Did Mr. Qin think about it? As a royal relative of the Great Jin Kingdom, why do you still have to learn the language of the Song people?" Xiao Heng continued to ask.

"This... what does this have to do with you?" Wanyan Qin finally couldn't help but get angry.

"It's very relevant... don't worry." Xiao Heng comforted, "I think you learn the language of the Song people mainly to learn the knowledge of the Song people, right?"

"Hmph." Wanyan Qin snorted without comment, and Xiao Heng just smiled and continued:

"The Central Plains culture has never been cut off for thousands of years, and the cultural knowledge accumulated is also very rich... For the Jin people who have no history, this is a very precious wealth. You should admit this, right?"

"What do you want to say? Just say it with great pleasure. I hate you literati who are so twitching around the corners the most!" Wanyan Qin said angrily.

After the temptation was completed and he felt that the other party's tolerance for himself had reached the bottom line, Xiao Heng raised his question: "So, if you think the Great Jin Kingdom was defeated by the Mongol Yuan - I mean! This is an assumption... What would you do if the Great Jin Kingdom was really defeated?"

"..." Wanyan Qin looked at Xiao Heng without saying anything for a long time. Although the guy in front of her was a little annoying to speak, he couldn't help but continue to think along with Xiao Heng's thoughts.

"I... will probably die in a battle." Wanyan Qin said with some uncertainty.

"Maybe." Xiao Heng refused to comment, "What about you Wanyan?"

"...I will be killed all." Wanyan Qin clearly realized this problem. "Mongyuan and I are as close as the sea, and I will never let me live in peace."

"You are right!" Xiao Heng praised, "Young Master Qin is really thinking thoroughly!"

"Hmph." Wanyan Qin looked at Xiao Heng angrily, "And what? What do you want to say?"

"Then... let's make another assumption - pay attention to not considering the actual situation at all, just simply considering such an assumption... If the Great Jin Kingdom was defeated by the Great Song Dynasty, what would happen to you Wanyan?"

Xiao Heng raised his core questions.

"This is impossible! How could I, Dajin, be defeated by the weak Jiangnan land!" Wanyan Qin was indeed unwilling to accept this setting at all, but since he had the first experience of bringing it into assumptions, Xiao Heng was not afraid of him getting trapped.

"Of course it will be impossible! The strong Song Ren is weak in the Jin Dynasty... But this is just a hypothesis. How about this possibility?" Xiao Heng said in a guide.

"..." Wanyan Qin frowned, but she continued to think about it according to the assumption proposed by Xiao Heng... but for a moment she had no idea and didn't know where to start.

Xiao Heng helped him start at the right time: "Zhao Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty led a 100,000 army to capture Zhongdu, and now he is surrounded outside the palace... and the Wanyan family led the Northern Song Dynasty royal family to hide in the palace and continue to resist."

Xiao Heng looked at him and continued to guide: "Then...what do you think will happen?"

"Then... I'll probably ask me to wait for surrender and hand over the Northern Song Dynasty royal family." Wanyan Qin easily got the standard answer.

"So what? What do you think will be the fate of Wanyan after you surrender?" Xiao Heng continued to ask.

"... I will probably be under house arrest, and I will spend the rest of my life with delicious food and drinks. Maybe a certain generation of Wanyan's family will be demoted to a commoner..." As he said, Wanyan Qin's speech speed became slower and slower, and then he slowly raised his head to look at Xiao Heng.

"You want to say that you Jiangnan people who are falsely benevolent and righteous are not threatening me, Dajin, right?" Wanyan Qin asked.

"No, I just want to help you identify who is the real enemy of your Wanyan family." After saying that, Xiao Heng sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, picked up the hot tea that had been prepared on it and started drinking it.

"The real enemy..." Wanyan Qin's heart was shining.

Yes, Xiao Heng wanted to say that Jiangnan did not have any threat to Dajin - even if Dajin was really defeated by Jiangnan, it would be far from a disaster for the Wanyan clan to destroy the country and the worst result would be to be demoted to a commoner!

Moreover, with the personalities of previous emperors in Jiangnan, most of them were unwilling to fight the Northern Expedition, which also involved the legitimacy of their throne.

But what about the war with the Mongols and Yuan dynasties?

No matter whether you win or die, you can't see the end... Whether it's the Mongols win or the Dajin win, the loser's fate cannot escape the disaster of extermination.

So fundamentally speaking, the biggest enemy of Dajin is indeed the Mongol Yuan...

Xiao Heng sat next to him, watching the expression on Wanyan Qin's face change little by little, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

From the beginning to the end of the conversation, all the conclusions were "thought out by Wanyan Qin", so this result was more real and reliable to him. Although Xiao Heng did not hide his intentions, the problem was that what he said was true, and the questions raised were true... Even the conclusions that Wanyan Qin inferred by herself were true!

When everything is so true that it cannot be real, Xiao Heng's motives are irrelevant.

This is also an open conspiracy.

"So, what do you want from me?" Wanyan Qin looked at Xiao Heng. This time, his eyes were no longer as vaguely condescending as he looked at Xiao Heng with an attitude towards his similar kind.

Force will win respect, and wisdom will do it.

"I want a lot...but don't you ask what you can get from me?" Xiao Heng said softly.

"What can I do?" Wanyan Qin asked hesitantly, "I have investigated it clearly. Qin Jian has been transferred to Sichuan Mansion. There are not many things in your hands that can impress me."

"I wonder if you know Master Huang?" Xiao Heng said slowly, "I can give you a chance to communicate with Master Huang directly."

"Huang Xiang..." Wanyan Qin naturally knew that as the most powerful third person in the Song Dynasty, it was very intimidating to throw out Huang Xiang Ye's name.

"In addition, I can help you get some material promises from Mr. Huang... For example, the firearm you want is not unrelated." Xiao Heng continued to tempt, "In addition, I also have many craftsmen with superb skills. At that time, I can provide you with a large number of high-quality and low-cost armor and weapons."

"Come on! Take the armor and swords!" Xiao Heng said, and shouted at the soldiers next to him without waiting for the other party to agree. Then the finished armor and swords that had been prepared were sent.

Armor is a fish scale armor, and swords are also excellent products for stamping and polishing and simple heat treatment.

Each piece of the fish scale armor is equally thin and polished with sand in the ball mill to make it shiny! It looks shaky and majestic! The texture like a mirror suddenly grabbed Wanyan Qin's heart, and she couldn't let go of the armor with it... She was completely unwilling to return it to Xiao Heng.

"I'll give this armor to Mr. Qin, it's a sign of expressing my feelings." Xiao Heng said immediately.

"Okay! Then I'm not polite!" Wanyan Qin was overjoyed.

"I wonder how good this armor is?" Xiao Heng asked.

"It's good, but this price..." Wanyan Qin hesitated a little.

"50 taels per pair." Xiao Heng directly gave a super low price that Wanyan Qin had never thought about!

You should know that high-end armor and weapons in this era are very expensive! Just like the horse spear that Xiao Heng gave to Han Ziqing, even if it is made of ordinary hardwood materials and standardized manufacturing processes, it will take two to three years to make such a pair! And the yield rate is less than 40%!!

This also leads to a mere horse spear worth a thousand taels!!

Although the price of such a pair of fish scale armor is cheaper than that of aristocratic weapons such as a horse spear, it takes at least a blacksmith to be busy from manufacturing to completion! Even in the Song Dynasty, only the armor under the imperial weapons can be made in batches, and most of them are mainly leather armor. Such high-quality and finely polished fish scale armor cannot be made in a year!

Of course, the main reason why armor is not used as fish scale armor of this level is that it is not necessary. After all, the main function of armor is to provide protection. As for whether it is bright or not... it does not improve its practicality except to give the enemy a certain deterrence.

But even so, this armor can be said to be expensive! Not to mention thousands of taels, there will definitely be hundreds of taels!

And here at Xiao Heng... he offered 50 taels at a price! It was less than one-quarter of Wanyan Qin's psychological price!!

"You're not trying to use ragged armor to make up for the numbers?" Wanyan Qin asked in disbelief.

"How is that possible! Just take out the armor and look at it?" Xiao Heng waved to the soldiers beside him with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, take off the armor inside and show it to Mr. Qin!"

"yes!"

The soldier standing aside immediately took off his shirt and quickly took off the fish scale vest inside.

Xiao Heng took the fish scale armor vest and handed it to Wanyan Qin's hand and said, "Please see."

“…”

From the appearance, this fish-scale vest is almost exactly the same as the one given to him by Xiao Heng before! The only difference is that the previous one was polished, while the one in front of him was black and turquoise.

"It's almost the same...it's just this color?" Wanyan Qin asked strangely.

"This is anti-reflective treatment, and the foundation is the same." Xiao Heng said, "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at a page and compare it."

"..." Wanyan Qin really took off one piece according to the method Xiao Heng told him, and compared it with the one I got before... the thickness, hardness, even shape and arc are exactly the same! Just like two exactly the same leaves!

"I have prepared a few sets of them there. In addition, if Mr. Qin is interested, you can also go to our warehouse to take a look. There are a lot of armor inside, so you can choose and check it." Xiao Heng said openly and fairly.

“…”

Wanyan Qin became silent, and then he tried the swords with Xiao Heng's enthusiasm... Although it looked simple, the quality of all swords was no less than that of a hundred steel! Compared with the price of hundreds of steel, the price given by Xiao Heng was even more affordable to the people - 8 taels of swords and 10 taels of swords.

Although the materials used for swords are similar, the sword requires double-sided blades, so the price is slightly more expensive.

After reading all the goods brought by Xiao Heng, Wanyan Qin couldn't understand Xiao Heng.

"You give me at such a low price...why do you make?" Wanyan Qin said playfully.

"It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, it's the most important thing to make friends." Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"Then...what do you want from me?" Wanyan Qin asked hesitantly, "I'm a little afraid of you asking for any conditions that I can't agree to... These armors are really good."

"Whether you agree or not, this business can be done. Even if I thank you for helping you with helping you," Xiao Heng said "gracefully"... nonsense, a pair of armor can earn about 40 taels, and a knife can earn 6 taels, and a fool won't make this money!

"...I remember this friendship." Wanyan Qin said softly, "Now, you can say what you want."

"I want the information from the Mongolian Yuan and... Yingtian Mansion." Xiao Heng slowly expressed his purpose.
