Zhao Yan and their fleet left Liuqiuzhou, and after more than ten days of sailing, finally came to the sea off Guangzhou, Zhao Yan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the land in the distance, although Guangzhou is one of the largest seaports in the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, Guangzhou City can not be seen on the sea, because Guangzhou is mainly docked at the mouth of the Pearl River and the open sea, so Zhao Yan he can only see the mouth of the Pearl River with a big belly and a small mouth when he stands on the boat, and the Pearl River Estuary is flanked by the world-famous Macao and Hong Kong in the future, but unfortunately now it is only a barren place.

Zhao Yan and his fleet entered the Pearl River estuary from the open sea, and only then could they see the bustling port of Guangzhou, only to see the ships coming and going in the port without stopping, the wharf was full of shirtless coolies carrying goods, and there were many merchants and port officials passing through it, the former was looking for business opportunities, and the latter was busy calculating the tax on goods.

Looking at the busy Guangzhou Port in front of him, Zhao Yan suddenly thought of the information he got from Yu Niang and them before, he didn't expect that the person who is now the governor of Guangzhou turned out to be the famous Cai Jing in history, although this guy is young now, but in later generations, he is known as the first traitor in Chinese history, and the first of the six thieves, and even many people put the reason for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty on him, of course, this must be a little wronged Cai Jing, but it can also be seen that this person has a great influence in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhao Yan hearing Cai Jing's name from Yu Niang, he would have forgotten that Cai Jing was actually a member of the Fa Reform faction, and he was also an important figure in it, in addition to Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian, Cai Bian is not only Wang Anshi's son-in-law, but also Wang Anshi's important assistant, and his influence in the new party is far above Wang Xu, although Cai Jing is not as good as his younger brother, but he is also the top of the new party. This can be known from the fact that he was able to be sent to such an important place as Guangzhou as the governor.

Cai Jing can be called the first traitor in history by later generations, of course, he is not a simple character, in fact, he has been a phase four times, and it is very rare to have ups and downs, which shows that this person is powerful, but now Cai Jing is still only a young man in his twenties. Although there is some scheming, but there are still many worse in other aspects, such as this conflict with Yu Niang, it seems that he is too impulsive, if he is replaced by more than ten years later, I am afraid that Yu Niang will have been eaten by him and there is no scum left.

Zhao Yan and their arrival were naturally notified to the officials in Guangzhou a long time ago, and Princess Chen Guo and his wife also received Zhao Yan's private message, so when Zhao Yan and their ship docked at the port, the dock was already full of people to greet them. Among them, Princess Chen Guo and his wife naturally stood at the front, and behind them stood a group of officials, among which a young official was the leader, no need to ask, this person must be Cai Jing.

Zhao Yan looked at Cai Jing while getting off the boat, after all, he was also very curious about this legendary figure in history, he was the only one who appeared in the opera of later generations, and he must have been dressed as a white-faced traitor. However, the Cai Jing that Zhao Yan sees now is completely different from the one in the opera, only to see that the other party is tall and white-faced. He is also quite handsome, but his eyes are slightly narrow, which adds a bit of gloom to him.

When Zhao Yan got off the boat, Princess Chen Guo and Wang Shiyue took the lead to greet her, and Zhao Yan also missed this eldest sister very much, and stepped forward with a smile at the moment. But what he didn't expect was that Princess Chen Guo trotted past him with tears on her face, not caring about his younger brother at all, and then hugged a boy beside Zhao Yan and cried, this boy was naturally Shu'er who came with Zhao Yan. Speaking of which, he and Princess Chen Guo's mother and son have been separated for several years, and Shu'er has grown from a thigh-high boy to a teenager, but even if he changes a lot, Princess Chen Guo, as a mother, still recognizes her son at a glance.

"Third brother, your eldest sister and Shu'er have been separated for so many years, and they talk about him every day, and now they can't help but see him, don't be surprised!" Seeing that Zhao Yan was colded aside by his wife, Wang Shiyue hurriedly stepped forward and smiled.

"Haha, where did the brother-in-law say it, the eldest sister and Shu'er's mother and son nature, after meeting, naturally revealed their true feelings, but speaking of which, although Shu'er has been separated from you for a few years, he has learned a lot, if it weren't for his young age, I would have wanted to transfer him to Gewu Academy as a professor!" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time and said, speaking of Shu'er and Princess Chen Guo, he also has to bear a certain responsibility, and now he is naturally very happy to see their mother and son reunited.

Princess Chen Guo hugged her son and was intimate for a while, then she remembered Zhao Yan and others, and then took Shu'er's hand and said a few words to Zhao Yan, and then asked Wang Shi to receive Zhao Yan on her behalf, and she and Shu'er got on the boat to find Cao Ying and Princess Shu and other female dependents, after all, these female dependents are inconvenient to see outsiders, and they happened to be received by Princess Chen Guo.

Wang Shiyue had already been tempered, and he came to Zhao Yan with the officials behind him at the moment and helped them introduce each other, but when introducing Cai Jing, Wang Shiyue was very cold, it seems that he is also angry about Cai Jing's last time not selling his face, and Cai Jing has done too much before, so he doesn't have a good impression of Cai Jing.

But don't look at Cai Jing being so ruthless to Yu Niang, but when he saw Zhao Yan, he was full of smiles, and stepped forward to give a deep salute and said: "Xiaguan Cai Jing visited His Royal Highness King Yue, when Xiaguan was in the capital, he also went to Gewu Academy to listen to His Highness's lectures, and he can be regarded as a student of His Highness, and it is really an honor for His Highness to be able to see His Highness again in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital, today!" ”

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, although Zhao Yan has some prejudices about Cai Jing, but it is inconvenient to show it at this time, so he also smiled and politely said a few words to him, and then he excused himself to be tired and wanted to rest early, Cai Jing, who was interested, immediately said that he had arranged a place to live and took them there in person.

It's just that at this moment, Cai Jing unintentionally suddenly discovered that in the crowd behind Zhao Yan, the evil ghosts and the fish girl were also mixed in, which showed that they came back with Zhao Yan, and then thought of Xu Yuan, the concubine of the princess of Shu behind Zhao Yan just now, that is, the leader of the original Rakshasa Army, which made his face gloomy.

Zhao Yan paid attention to Cai Jing from the beginning, and naturally saw the change in the expression on his face, but he didn't say anything, and took people to the arranged residence by himself, Wang Shiyue and Princess Chen Guo were landlords, so they naturally wanted to do their best to be the landlord, so they had already set up a sumptuous banquet, Zhao Yan and their men were accompanied by Wang Shiyue and Cai Jing and others, and Princess Chen Guo went to entertain Cao Ying's female dependents, this reception banquet lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and Zhao Yan and they all got drunk and returned.

However, although Zhao Yan and the others were drunk, Cai Jing couldn't drink it, especially when he saw Xu Yuan sitting with the evil ghost and the fish girl at the banquet, and there was talk and laughter between the three of them, plus Zhao Yan also toasted Xu Yuan and the three from time to time, which showed that Zhao Yan attached great importance to them, which made Cai Jing even more restless, and even wanted to end the banquet immediately and go back to find someone to discuss countermeasures.

Finally got to the end of the banquet, Cai Jing saw that the drunk Zhao Yan and others were helped down, and immediately got up and returned to his Zhizhou Mansion, and then sent someone to quickly find Qian Feng in Guangzhou, who was Zhizhou's deputy, but the original General Judgment had been transferred away with the original Zhizhou because of his opposition to the new law, and now Qian Feng and Cai Jing took office together, both of them are members of the New Party, and Qian Feng knew that Cai Jing's younger brother was Wang Anshi's son-in-law, so he was particularly stammered, and the General Judgment had the authority to monitor Zhizhou, But when he came to him, he was resigned to what Cai Jing did, and he didn't have any intention of monitoring at all.

"Brother Yuan, what happened to make you call me in such a hurry?" As soon as Qian Feng saw Cai Jing, he immediately asked, he went out today because of the promotion of the new law, so he couldn't greet Zhao Yan, and naturally he didn't know that the evil ghost and the fish girl also came back with Zhao Yan.

"It's a big deal, today I went to greet His Royal Highness King Yue, but I didn't expect to meet two people......" Cai Jing said and told about the encounter with Yu Niang and the evil ghost today, especially Xu Yuan actually came back, and he also had a very good relationship with Zhao Yan, so it can be seen that Zhao Yan must have known about his previous bullying of Yu Niang and others, and maybe he will come forward for them, and he is likely to be troubled by Zhao Yan at that time.

Qian Feng couldn't help frowning after listening to Cai Jing's words, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "According to the news from Beijing, the king of Yue came this time to take over all maritime trade matters, and our Guangzhou mainly relies on sea trade, so naturally it is also controlled by the king of the county, if he really wants to ask about this matter, I am afraid that your situation in Zhizhou is also very bad." ”

"I naturally know this, so I want to invite Brother Qian to come over and discuss a countermeasure!" Cai Jing said anxiously at this time, he didn't know that Xu Yuan was also coming, and he didn't expect that Yu Niang and they would be able to connect with Zhao Yan, and even in his opinion, the Rakshasa Army was just a pirate who had surrendered, and he was able to take a fancy to Yu Niang who had already promoted her, but since she didn't know how to lift, then don't blame him for being polite, but he never expected that because of this incident, he would offend Zhao Yan, the most popular Yue King in the Great Song Dynasty.

I saw Qian Feng frown again when he heard this, and pondered for a while before he said: "Zhizhou, this matter is not easy to do, if King Yue insists on interfering in this matter, I am afraid that even the prince in the court will not be able to help you, but it is not completely impossible, the lower official has a mention, if Zhizhou is willing to do it, maybe this matter can be resolved." ”

"Oh? What mentions yì? Cai Jing eagerly asked, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with Zhao Yan because of such a 'trivial matter', so it would be best if he could resolve it. (To be continued......)
