Such a major event as the birthday of the Son of Heaven is, of course, indispensable to the participation of the princes of the world. Today, although there are fewer and fewer remaining princes, their respective strengths are also different. But for such an event, it is necessary to come every time. Regardless of whether it can be beneficial or not, even if it is a good opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation in the world from the Los Angeles gathering, it is good to know in advance.

It is for this reason that in recent years, although it is said that most of the princes will not come in person. However, they would send very important officials to Los Angeles from all over the country to show their attention to this matter.

In the heyday of the previous dynasty, the princes did not go to court, of course, it was an extremely rude behavior and should be severely punished. But for the current Great Zhou royal family, it has lost this harsh power. It's good to be able to send people, and there is no way to think about the princes who find excuses and don't even send people.

Of course, like the few remaining great princes, it is necessary to send important ministers to come. Because it involves where their respective interests lie. As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty still exists for one day, then you can't lose the righteous name that you want to use it. Although in fact, everyone no longer regards this old and dying Zhou Tianzi as a thing. But what if there's still a place for it?

With this mentality, the princely missions of all parties, after entering Los Angeles sooner or later, began their own observations and visits. Some private talk and conspiracy are inevitable. Most of them are unknown to outsiders. But it is obvious that Los Angeles is mixed and undercurrents are surging.

And Lan Lingjun, who came from the East China Sea Qi Kingdom, didn't care about these at all, and never mixed in. There was only one reason why he personally went out and came to Zhongzhou thousands of miles again. That is, he heard that King Zhao Chu Jiangmian was coming, so he really wanted to meet him in Los Angeles and relive his feelings when he first met him here. Perhaps, for Lan Lingjun, this will have a special significance.

Lan Lingjun, who walked through the south bank of the Luo River in front of the guards of the Qi State, felt infinite emotion in his heart. I haven't been to Zhongzhou for just a few years, but I can't imagine that earth-shaking changes have taken place here. On both sides of the Luo River, it has become extremely prosperous. If you compare it, it is almost on par with the most prosperous places in the Qi country.

Lan Lingjun, who participated in the major events of the military aircraft of the Qi State, naturally knew very well in his heart how the prosperity of the Qi State came about! Even he did not expect that the sea canal transport, which had listened to the advice of King Zhao and cooperated with Zhao State, would achieve unparalleled huge benefits. If you calculate it carefully, the benefits that Qi has received from this aspect alone have accounted for nearly half of the treasury revenue. The commodity circulation markets distributed in several important coastal cities attracted countless merchants from the north and south, and even traffickers from the islands of the sea also crossed the sea to trade goods.

With the development of time, Lan Lingjun simply admired this young King Zhao more and more. And in his heart, he finally understood that the reason why King Zhao tried his best to support the Qi State was to take advantage of the convenience of this land to open this estuary. It can be said that the two countries are united, and each benefits from each other. Lan Lingjun couldn't help but feel secretly proud that he had taken the initiative to approach this young man back then. Now the people of Qi country, who does not admire his foresight? For this reason, he must also revisit the old place, and then come to Los Angeles to have a good conversation with King Zhao and talk about friendship. The three-story restaurant facing the street had been chartered by him a few days in advance. Such a heroic act of throwing tens of thousands of dollars is just a piece of cake for the current Lanlingjun. What's more, hearing that he was here, everyone in this restaurant from top to bottom felt extremely honored, and it was too late to greet him respectfully.

You must know that the world's fine wines are all produced in Zhao and Qi. And the Lanling wine of Qi is especially famous. And with the help of the convenience of the freight circulation of Qi country, the Lanling wine, named after the title of Lanling Jun, has long been well-known all over the world. These restaurants in Los Angeles all use Lanling wine as the best wine to entertain guests. There is an endless stream of drinkers who come to drink, and the price is expensive. Today, the owner of this wine came in person, so naturally he had to receive it well. And when the shopkeeper of this restaurant overheard the rumor that it was the reason why Lan Lingjun was so bold in chartering the restaurant was to prepare to entertain King Zhao again, they were so excited that they couldn't help it.

What an honor! For the sake of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to perform well. The busy restaurant is prepared up and down, and there is no need to go into detail. What Lan Lingjun feels surprised about now is what is the guarantee of prosperity near Zhongzhou?

It wasn't long before he figured it out. As a result, the smile on his face became more ambiguous and cheerful. It turns out that most of this is due to his lovely princess niece! Listening to the detailed reports of his subordinates, Princess Sanssouci almost admired what Princess Sanssouci had done in the past few years. Although he had long known that this little princess who he had grown up with his own eyes would inevitably make a difference. However, her bravery and courage still greatly surprised Lan Lingjun.

"Worry-free is really the pride of Qi country! It's just a pity that she's a daughter. If it's a son...... Why is there no successor to the Qi Kingdom? Alas! ”

Lan Lingjun, who let out a long sigh, felt both relieved and regretful. If there is one thing that he regrets in the prosperity and development of the Qi Kingdom, it is that the King of Qi is faint and old, and the unbearable use of several sons. It is very difficult for such a large vassal state to maintain prosperity and stability in the future if there is no successor. Whenever he thought of this question, Lan Lingjun's heart was full of trouble. It's just that now he has no choice but to take one step at a time.

In any case, everything that Princess Sanssouci has achieved still makes him very happy. And the development of her relationship with King Zhao is an aspect that Lan Lingjun focuses on. Therefore, when he heard that King Zhao was going south, and under a thousand circumstances, he took three days to accompany Princess Sanssouci in Zhongshan City, Lan Lingjun felt extremely relieved. Since the relationship between the princess and King Zhao has reached such a close level, it can also be reassuring. And now his task is to concentrate on preparing to meet Chu Jiangmian again.

Among the many people who came to Los Angeles in advance to wait, there were not a few people who paid attention to King Zhao's actions like Lan Lingjun. Compared with the various activities on the birthday of the Son of Heaven, the every move of King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao seems to be more important. No matter what the purpose, the focus of the eyes of the people of the world has been concentrated in Los Angeles in the past few days.

King Zhao finally entered Los Angeles in the midst of all the people! A smile appeared on Lan Lingjun's face when he heard the news. He was in no hurry to meet with him. Because he knows that although King Zhao is young, he is a person who pays attention to the overall situation. Presumably, he will definitely not lack the etiquette of the Great Zhou royal family. Cumbersome forms of etiquette in the palace take time. That being the case, what he has is patience.

"King Zhao, don't say a few years, hurry by. The years are merciless, and before I know it, I am no longer in my prime...... But I don't know what kind of demeanor you are now? ”

Lan Lingjun, who was full of anticipation, let out a sigh for no reason. It's just that even he definitely didn't expect that in Los Angeles, where various celebrations were about to begin, there was already a hidden murder motive. Just wait for the wind and clouds to rise, and the sound of golden armor killing!

The waters of the Luo River are mighty and endless. This spring has a lot of rain, which indicates a good harvest year. And the river is also very abundant. The river is wide enough for boating. I don't know when, a majestic formation of large ships began to appear from the upstream. Some small merchant ships passing here dodged one after another, and the people on it looked at the nearly 100 large ships passing in front of them in surprise, and a chill inexplicably rose in their hearts. Most of these were merchants who traveled from south to north, and it was obvious at a glance that these ships were warships. Although the flag died down and there were no soldiers, the murderous aura that was faintly revealed could not be concealed.

Where did this warship come from? I've never heard of such a large-scale warship formation near Zhongzhou! Could it be that the armies of the princes are passing through here, so where are they going?

Such doubts are incomprehensible. Although there is a vague sense of uneasiness in their hearts, most people still don't meddle in things. They are just merchants who sell goods, and how to get the most out of it is the most important thing. As for the various games between these princes, it has nothing to do with them. I heard that King Zhao had arrived in Los Angeles, so it was the top priority to hurry up and rush to the Luohe ferry to find an opportunity to witness the demeanor of this king with his own eyes!

And on this staggered high war ship, some people are also looking at these merchant ships that have taken refuge in the river with disdain. From a condescending point of view, these small merchant ships traveling between the north and the south look too shabby. Just like the identity of these businessmen, no matter how rich they are, they are still worthless at the bottom!

Hu Yuan, who was a general of the Southern Han Dynasty, did not wear the golden armor given by the King of Han. This Southern Han general, nicknamed "General Bahu", is a fierce general who has been promoted and reused by King Lu Qi of the Han Dynasty in recent years. This person is proficient in water and is good at training water troops. In his hands, the naval army of the Southern Han Dynasty has been developed at a high level. In recent years, he has subdued the neighboring princes of Wu and Yue with absolute strength, making them obediently obey the will of the king of Han. To some extent, the princes of the southeast had formed an alliance dominated by the Southern Han kings. The power should not be underestimated.

And the reason why they gathered the most elite naval forces among several princes this time and came across the rivers was to plot an unprecedented event.

"General Qiyu! The king has secretly entered Los Angeles. I heard that King Zhao has also entered the city today...... The latest order, let's do what we originally planned!"

"General Bahu" laughed coldly when he heard the report. The water of the great river, the turbid waves, this is where he comes in!
