Chapter 650: Special Products
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
Gu Sanqiu understood that although Coral Palace Xinhai's intelligence was praised even by the fox, the fact before her was a very heavy one.
She is the present-day shrine maiden of Umijima Island.
No matter how glamorous your youth was, when you need to shoulder responsibilities, everything about you will shrink, become solid, and eventually become a wall of your heart that is difficult to cross.
Coral Palace Xinhai is such a person. For her, it has become instinct to consider everything with Kaigi Island as the priority. Of course, it can also be understood as some kind of helpless passive skill.
"I'm not here to seek asylum. How come this news hasn't even reached you? My wanted warrant has been cancelled, and it was a while ago."
Coral Palace Xinhai was surprised: "So that's how it is, then I think I understand the reason."
"Mr. Long Hai, you should know that as one of the two warring parties, our Haiji Island has always been at a disadvantage, so we will try every means to invite talented people from other places to come to help."
"And you, sir, are naturally the target we are looking for on Haiji Island."
"Since your wanted order has been cancelled, but the news has not reached Kaigi Island, it is very likely that the people of Tenryo Bugyo want to use this opportunity to find the recruitment team of Kaigi Island and use it to weaken our strength."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "It seems that your life is indeed miserable."
Xin Hai smiled and said, "That's not the case. This is a struggle for our country. Sir, do you have a permanent place to live now? If you don't mind, we can also make room for a dojo on Haiji Island for you."
"The problem you face is not just your weakness in combat. You should be aware of this yourself. If the Three Magistrates get serious, Kaigi Island will be no match for them."
Gu Sanqiu bluntly pointed out the key point: "If Inazuma was not in a state of civil unrest, Haigi Island would not even be considered a threat. You should understand this."
"Mr. Long Hai is indeed merciless in his words."
Coral Palace Xinhai admitted generously: "That is true, but as a modern-day divine priestess, it is my duty to lead Haigi Island, which has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Since Mr. Long Hai has the courage to draw his sword to the sky, he will not be bound by worldly matters. We at Haiji Island sincerely hope to have an instructor who can improve the strength of our soldiers."
Gu Sanqiu seemed to be thinking deeply: "Let's put aside the question of strength first. You definitely didn't know my identity before you saw me. As a ruler, would you come here in person just because of a stranger's words?"
"In social situations, showing respect is often the beginning of harmonious communication."
Xin Hai smiled and said, "I have read in a book from Liyue that being kind to others is being kind to yourself. In fact, it is the same principle when translated."
"Besides, if we only meet once, we can get a discount on the food we buy, which is a great thing for the entire Haiji Island."
"Moreover, from my life experience, you can be considered a good person based on what you have done."
"Please stop issuing cards."
Gu Sanqiu raised his hand to stop him: "Strictly speaking, we have not even met for an hour. How did you judge that I am a good person?"
"The decline of Kaigi Island is a fact that is in front of everyone."
Coral Palace Xinhai said slowly: "Before we went to war with the Inazuma shogunate, Kaigi Island and the Tenryo Bugyo stationed nearby also cooperated from time to time."
"When people from above, that is, from Narukami Island, come to inspect, some unreasonable people will even ask the current generation of the present-day Shinto priestess to accompany them, in order to demonstrate the strength of his rule over Kaigi Island."
"I have encountered such a thing before. The general whose name I still don't know told me that as long as I can appear at the banquet wearing a miko costume and toast three times, the trade restrictions on Haigi Island will be relaxed next year."
Gu Sanqiu knocked on the table: "You didn't agree."
"That's right."
Xin Hai smiled and said, "If it was just a simple invitation to a banquet, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the general wanted me to show up at the banquet and toast, which in itself is a bad sign."
"Others can do it, but I can't. This is the bottom line that Haiqi Island must never cross, and it is also the dignity that our ancestors have upheld. "
Gu Sanqiu understood instantly: "I brought a lot of food, but I just asked to meet you, and I didn't make any weird or difficult requests. So you think I'm a good person?"
Xinhai nodded.
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "Then your standards for being a good person are really loose."
"Today, even if it is just a small greeting from Haigi Island, it is already a precious care for us, and it is a kindness that is worth remembering in our hearts."
Xinhai felt a little helpless, but still insisted on smiling.
“If you have experienced the wind and frost, you will know the value of sunshine and rain.”
"If you have witnessed the passing of life and endured the criticism of thousands of people, then you will know that those who don't comment on you casually, their attitude of ignoring you is already a precious support."
"I agree with what you say."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand, and two cups filled with fragrant wine appeared on the table.
"Here's to you, Lord Coral Palace."
"Mr. Long Hai, just call me Xin Hai."
Coral Palace Xinhai took a sip of the wine, but after seeing Gu Sanqiu toast generously, he followed suit. Then, because of the alcohol content, he had to cover his face with his sleeves and stuck out his tongue lightly.
Very spicy.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally lost my composure in front of the guests."
Xin Hai smiled: "Then let's talk business now, sir, since your goal has been achieved, how much of the total price of that batch of grain can be deducted?"
Gu Sanqiu stretched out a finger and shook it.
"10% discount?"
"No."
Gu Sanqiu said slowly: "I'll give you a 10% discount."
?
Xinhai was stunned for a long time this time. She really didn't expect that there would be such a way of doing business in the world.
No, this is no longer a business, this is completely giving it away for free!
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Gu Sanqiu, and I’m from Liyue."
The incense burner grinned and said, "What I just told the witch to tell you is not a lie. It is a true story."
"Although I don't have the blood of the Rock God, I am a follower of Morax."
"I came to Haigi Island with only one purpose, and that was to see you."
"A mortal offering incense, now a shamanic priestess. Although our origins are somewhat different, it seems that we are both doing the same thing. The only difference is that I don't carry a deep hatred, at least not now."
"That really surprises me."
Xin Hai came back to his senses: "Then I shouldn't call you Mr. Long Hai."
"Just call me Sanqiu. Don't you agree with me calling you Xinhai?"
"So Sanqiu, what is your purpose in meeting me?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned and thought for a while: "To be honest, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it, but after what I said just now, I also understand that you are a determined person."
"I came to Haiji Island to see you for only one purpose, and that is to conduct a transaction under the witness of the contract."
Gu Sanqiu said solemnly: "I want to sell something, a very special item."
"I want to sell war, a real war."
