Adachi Manha's eyesight was top-notch, and even though he was ten steps away from Qin Yining, he could still clearly see the pleading look in her eyes.
If it was just a delicate and beautiful woman, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her. But this woman had so many attendants with her, and they were all Southern Yan people.
Many of them went to the Southern Yan to make a living, not just in Water Swamp Country, but in the surrounding countries as well. Some of them would make a living in the Southern Yan, but others would do things like bandits, leaving a bad impression on the Southern Yan people. He didn't know if these Southern Yan people would treat them as bandits and come to their country with other intentions.
Adachi Manha narrowed his eyes, and his hand involuntarily went to the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Ji Yun, who was next to Qin Yining, suddenly tightened her grip on her arm. Qin Yining's other hand, which was hidden in her robe, lightly pinched her thigh before she stopped. Qin Yining's other hand, which was hidden behind her back, waved at the people behind her.
Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, Gao Delai, Ji Dashun, and the others were very nervous when they saw the Japanese man holding the sword. Their muscles were tense, and they were already thinking of rushing forward to protect the princess if they failed. But after receiving Qin Yining's signal, they suppressed those thoughts and tried their best to relax their bodies, even squeezing out relaxed smiles on their faces.
Qin Yining's entire body was relaxed, without a trace of vigilance — she didn't know any martial arts, so naturally she was relaxed.
After a short test, Adachi Manha discovered that the beautiful woman didn't know any martial arts, and the people behind her looked like ordinary workers. Perhaps they knew some martial arts, but overall, their chances of winning against the two hundred or so Water Swamp Country soldiers weren't high.
Thinking of this, Adachi Manha calmed himself down. He wanted to make a good impression in front of the beautiful woman, and perhaps even get a chance to get intimate with her. He put a smile back on his face and nodded, saying, "Alright, Lady Yao, you and your subordinates can come to do business, but where are the goods you brought? I need to check to see if there is anything harmful to our Water Swamp Country. If there is no problem with the goods, you can come and do business. "
Madoha Adachi said as he looked at the ship docked at the harbor.
That ship was still half new, and it looked extremely imposing. To be able to own such a ship and wear such luxurious attire, a merchant must be a very wealthy person in the Southern Yan Kingdom.
Adachi Totsuya had personally been to the Southern Yan and had seen the prosperity of the big cities there. He had also seen how the wealthy merchants lived there.
That was a life that was even more luxurious than their reputations.
Not to mention that the Water Swamp Country had more than two hundred soldiers. There were more than a hundred maids and servants in the rich merchant families there.
Perhaps this Madam Yao came from such a wealthy merchant family.
Such friends were worth making.
This would bring him more benefits than just a chance to get intimate with her.
Qin Yining's face was full of smiles, and her bright eyes reflected the sunlight from the seaside. Her jewelry and luxurious clothes made her look even more beautiful. Her eyes seemed to contain stars as she looked at Adachi Totsuya with a smile. While he was in a daze, she had already seen the struggle in Adachi Totsuya's expression, the change in his expression, the calculation in his eyes, and the wild ambition in his eyes.
Qin Yining was angry for a moment.
But in addition to her anger, she was also glad that she had met such a person today. When a person had something to ask for, they would also have a weakness, which she could use to her advantage. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to get things done.
She would not forget why she had crossed the ocean to come here. She wanted to achieve her goal, not to be treated with courtesy by a stranger.
Qin Yining thought of this and nodded with a smile, "Of course I can inspect it, but it's just some of the daily necessities of the Southern Yan Kingdom. There are women's rouge and face powder, cloth, wine, bacon, and other things."
Qin Yining smiled and gestured for Adachi to board the ship. She was obviously inviting him to board the ship for inspection.
Adachi Totsuya's expression did not change, but his heart was palpitating. He stepped closer to Qin Yining and took in her beauty.
Qin Yining led him to the boat and signaled for Liao Zhibing and the others to stay where they were and wait. She only brought Ji Yun and Jing Zhe with her.
Liao Zhibing, Ji Dashun, and the others' hearts were in their mouths. They secretly estimated whether or not Ji Yun and Jing Zhe could handle Adachi Totsuya.
Adachi Totsuya saw that Qin Yining only had two attendants, one male and one female, and followed her to the boat. Looking at her graceful back as she boarded the boat, his heart became more and more excited.
When the wooden boat stepped on the wooden planks, Adachi Totsuya's broken Southern Yan language came from behind.
"Lady Yao, how could your husband bear to let such a beautiful woman like you go out to do business?"
Qin Yining's footsteps did not change, but his face was filled with anger.
For a man to say such words to an unfamiliar woman, it was clear that he wanted to take liberties with her.
Even Ji Yun and Jing Zhe almost turned around to take this person down and apologize to the princess.
Qin Yining turned around first and said with a smile, "A merchant's family does not have as many rules as those wealthy families. My husband and I went out at the same time. He went to the north, so I came here. "
"So that's how it is." Adachi Totsuya smiled and said, "It seems that your family is not so strict with women. When I was in Southern Yan, there were very few opportunities to see wealthy women like you. They did not go out, only commoner women went out."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I am a commoner woman."
Up close, this woman's appearance was even more captivating. Adachi Totsuya's heart was beating like a drum. He was even more nervous than when he was competing in martial arts. He really wanted to leave a good impression in front of this woman. Seeing that she was so easy-going and talkative, it was clear that she did not hate him.
Qin Yining led Adachi Totsuya to a cabin that had been prepared in advance. Inside were the goods that they had brought out to sea. Just as she said, there were some ordinary items from Southern Yan.
As for the weapons and other items, they were on the other 29 warships, which were still far away from here.
Adachi Totsuka wanted to leave a good impression on Qin Yining so that they could have a good relationship in the future. Therefore, with Qin Yining by his side, he only briefly checked the goods in the box and did not go to the other cabins. Moreover, his burning gaze always fell on Qin Yining as they walked.
Ji Yun and Jing Zhe were angered by Adachi Totsuya's rudeness. However, they had important things to do and could not move, so they could only follow orders.
Liao Zhibing and the others stood at the dock and looked at the ship anxiously. When Qin Yining and the others came out safely, they could finally relax.
When they came back to the dock, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Mr. Adachi, you have checked. Can you allow us to do business here?"
