Chapter 689: Yuangai Suwen
Xi Yunfei still has some impression of Pei Shiqing.
The legendary first person visiting Japan was the earliest recorder who spread the way of eating chopsticks to Japan.
But Xi Yunfei didn't expect that Su We, Emily, had a close relationship with Pei Shiqing.
For Pei Shiqing, he was willing to contribute his industry.
Xi Yunfei was silent for a long time. He was busy with Goguryeo before, but he actually forgot that the Later Sui Dynasty was also a talented person.
Not to mention others, Pei Shiqing may be an important chess piece for his future colonization of Japan.
Xi Yunfei has no satellites, and even if he has airships to help, it will be troublesome to cross the sea.
But Pei Shiqing visited the Japanese island three times and led the way, so he must have a much smoother trip to the Japanese island.
As soon as he thought of this, Xi Yunfei nodded to Su I, Emily, and said, "Don't worry, Minister Su I, since you and I have a cooperative relationship, your business is mine, Pei Shiqing, right? I have recorded this matter."
Su I, the Eagle, did not doubt that he was there. Seeing Xi Yunfei swearing, he hurriedly stood up and saluted and thanked him.
"Okay, don't be so reserved." Xi Yunfei waved his hand casually and said, "How long will it take for you to come back this time?"
Su I, Emily, thought Xi Yunfei was anxious about slave trading, so he bowed and replied: "Don't worry, nobleman, it only takes two months. The villain will definitely send the people to Qingzhou port and hand them over to Your Excellency Cui Hu."
Xi Yunfei had already entrusted the slave trade to Cui Hu. He nodded slightly when he heard this and then tentatively said: "I heard that Japan and Silla often fight over sea areas, so I wonder if this is the case?"
Su I, the Hokkien, looked slightly, and secretly glanced at Xi Yunfei, then responded: "I will not hide it from the nobles. The struggle between the two countries has been around for a long time, not only because of sea areas, but also many other factors."
When Xi Yunfei saw him talking, he hesitated and knew that he could not ask any key clues. The corners of his mouth raised lightly and took the initiative to pull the topic away.
Half a time, I sent Su I, Emily, and Xi Yunfei asked you to call Pei Shiqing.
As a former senior official of the Honglu Temple of Sui Dynasty, Pei Shiqing's political back was a little embarrassed, and he was not a good person. Although he was not a big traitor, he was also imprisoned by He Baichuan for some evil things.
When Xi Yunfei met Pei Shiqing, who was over 50 years old, this guy no longer had his former charm.
"Sir... Pei has met the husband." Although it was Pei Shiqing's first time meeting Xi Yunfei, he was not unfamiliar with Xi Yunfei.
Xi Yunfei observed him with great interest. Seeing that he was respectful and had a moderate attitude, he smiled and greeted him to take his seat.
"Thank you." Pei Shiqing sat down and looked at Xi Yunfei nervously, feeling uneasy, afraid that Xi Yunfei would come to ask for guilt.
"Old Pei, don't be nervous, please relax. I'll call you here just to understand the situation in Japan. To show my sincerity, I have asked someone to let you go and return the house to you."
Pei Shiqing was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes were slightly red, and he quickly stood up to thank him.
Xi Yunfei reached out to help him and said, "Old Pei doesn't have to do this. Sit down and let's have a good chat..."

Goguryeo, Jian'an City.
It is also called the Goryeo City Mountain City, located on the east side of Goryeo City. The mountains in the north of the city are steep and undulating, with the highest peak being more than 300 meters above sea level.
Ascend to the top of the peak, you can see the Bohai Bay from the west, with thousands of blue waves, and you can see it in full view. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, making the geographical location very convenient.
Jian'an City has a large area, forming an irregular circle, with valleys in the middle, and dangerous mountains around it. The city walls are built with stone blocks, and some are built with rammed earth. The steep places are made of stone cliffs as walls, with a circumference of more than 20 or 30 miles.
A small hill emerges in the center of the city, commonly known as Jindian Mountain. It is about twenty meters high and has several pavilions and towers on it. It can be used as a guard house for climbing and looking far away. There are five spring wells and water storage pools around the hill. The spring water does not freeze when it is cold and does not dry up when it is severe. It is conducive to garrisoning troops.
At this time, at the foot of Jindian Mountain, tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were practicing routinely.
On the high platform made of stones, several generals stood side by side, waving square and square.
"General, in half a month, it will be the season for a bumper harvest. The royal city sacrificial ceremony has been prepared. Should we go back too?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the man with a beard frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious for a moment, let's talk about a mere sacrificial sacrifice, how can our major event be important?"
"General, the king has sent the third edict. I am afraid that we will not withdraw our troops again. Some people are afraid that they will jump out and talk about gossip."
The bearded man raised his lips lightly and said disdainfully: "Just say it, anyway, they are just talking quickly. When I take down Dingxiang City, I will see how they will show off. Then, let alone them, even if the king sees me, he will treat me well."
When the generals heard this, their expressions were slightly moved. Two of them wanted to speak but stopped, while the rest were full of excitement.
At this time, someone came to the stone platform.
"General, a businessman from the Tang Dynasty asked for a visit. He claimed that he was from the Cui clan of Boling and offered a great gift."
The bearded man in the lead turned his head and looked at it with a wonderful expression on his face.
This person is the famous Goguryeo Yoon Gaisuwen. According to historical records, "They are beautiful, beautiful beards, and all have gold crowns and clothes, and wear five swords. No one dares to look up at them."
Although it was a little exaggerated, I have to say that this man is indeed good-looking, and even a slutty face cannot cover up his handsome face.
Maybe it was because he was too delicate that he had grown a beard...
"I'm sure he is from the Boling Cui clan?" Yuan Gaisuwen confirmed.
The small soldier who reported the news clasped his fists and replied: "Yes, he still has a token on his body. The counselor has confirmed his identity and is receiving it at this time."
Yuan Gaisuwen frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded and said, "I understand, you go down first... Wait, check it out again. Be careful when they are on their trip, don't be alert to the snake."
"Yes." The soldier bowed his head and retreated.
A deputy general next to him frowned and said, "General, why did the people from the Boling Cui family suddenly appear at this time? Will there be any fraud?"
Yuan Gaisuwen held his chest with one hand and twisted his beard with the other hand, and was also puzzled: "I don't know, maybe I passed by Jian'an City and learned that I was here, so I came to visit... Forget it, I'll know it."
Yuan Gaisuwen left three deputy generals to continue training soldiers, and he took two subordinates to meet the visitor.
In the reception room of the city garrison, the person who came to Cui was Cui Hu.
"Hahaha, General Yuan hasn't seen him for many days, and his style remains the same."
"It turned out to be Brother Cui. I didn't expect that you came here in person. You are rude. Come on, prepare the wine and food quickly. I want to drink 300 cups with Brother Cui, hahaha."
Although Cui Hu was born in the Choi family of Boling, because of business affairs, he was surrounded by wild gangsters, so he had a sense of banditry, which was similar to Yuan Gaisuwen.
It's funny to say that both of them are of high origin, but they don't like to be verbally chewy, but they are interested in dancing with swords and guns. Therefore, the relationship is pretty good and the cooperation is very close.
"Haha, I know that General Yuan likes the Sword of the Sword. This time I came here, I specially brought you a peerless sword. This sword is called the Nine Crow Swords. It is said that there are nine swords in the world, all in the hands of famous swordsmen. I have used a lot of effort to get this one."
"Oh, there are such surprise weapons in this world. Come and bring them quickly to open my eyes..."
