Linya City, a coastal city located on the eastern coastline of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is bordered by Yahai in the east and across the sea from the harbor city of Vietnam.

If you look down from the sky, you will see that Cliff City is like a huge pocket, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only one side is connected to the land.

Linya City is like Qingfeng City, and its geographical location is extremely important. And the city lord of Cliff City is naturally not something that ordinary people can do.

Yu Ling, the lord of Linya City, and the Marquis of Yahai of the Great Xia Dynasty.

When Li Lingtian was the crown prince, he followed Li Lingyun to fight in the north, and his achievements were impressive, and he won Li Lingyun's trust.

After Li Lingyun ascended the throne, he was sent to Linya City, responsible for guarding Linya City and the defense of Yahai.

......

On the endless sea, a huge merchant ship rode the wind and waves, and the waves that slapped against it were scattered in all directions.

After several days of sailing, there was not much time left to reach Cliff City. As the city of Cliff approaches. All of a sudden, there were more merchant ships sailing on the seas. The shape is different.

The draft of each ship was terrifying, and the merchant ships must have carried valuable supplies.

It was very dangerous for merchant ships to come to sea to transport goods, not only to face strong winds and waves, but also to be constantly on guard against piracy.

However, the wealth is moving, and the businessmen are still happy to walk on both sides of the sea.

Li Yunzhi and his entourage stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the ships coming and going in the distance. Gu Ping, who was standing behind Li Yunzhi, excitedly pointed to a merchant ship in front of him and exclaimed.

"Childe, look! What a big ship!"

Follow the direction of Gu Ping's finger and look at it. I saw a merchant ship twice the size of ordinary merchant ships, sailing in the middle of dozens of merchant ships, the bow of the ship proudly held high, squeezing against the wind and waves. This is clearly a caravan.

This large merchant was located in the middle of the fleet, with dozens of sails, densely arranged from bow to stern. On the inside of the ship's side, the female wall is thick, and the outside is covered with the skin of an unknown monster, and the smooth leather turns over the sea water scales and waves, which is particularly eye-catching.

At the head of this large merchant ship, on the platform of the three-house heavy building, stands a large flag. The red flag embroidered with the two big characters "Dingyuan" is whirring in the sea breeze!

"Childe, it's Dingyuan's fleet!" Ling Wei on the side naturally saw this fleet.

"I didn't expect to meet the people of Dingyuan in this vast sea!" Li Yunzhi looked at this huge fleet and sighed.

couldn't help but flash a graceful and charming figure in Li Yunzhi's mind......

Li Yunzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Looking up at the fleet that had gone away, he said:

"Let's go, let's go back to the room!"

......

At the same time, in the distant fleet, in the terrace of the three-house heavy building of the large merchant ship like the stars and the moon, stood the charming peach blossom eyes all her life, her fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, and her thin lips were like rose petals.

The girl looked into the distance against the sea breeze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Miss, it's windy! ”

"Hey......"

"Wow......"

People walked away empty, leaving a few sighs.

......

"Childe, Linya City has arrived!" Gu Ping pushed the door in and said to Li Yunzhi.

In five days, Li Yunzhi and his four took a merchant ship, set off from Yueguo, returned west along the coast, and finally arrived at Linya City, the destination of this trip.

Li Yunzhi accompanied everyone to the bow deck and looked ahead.

Cliff Harbor.

Linya Harbor was the largest port on the east coast of the Great Xia Dynasty, much larger than the harbor in Harbor City.

Although the merchant ship on which Li Yunzhi was riding was still dozens of miles away from the port. However, at this time, the sea was already densely packed with merchant ships. Li Yunzhi's merchant ship had to slow down and move slowly.

Finally, around noon, the merchant ships stopped in a stretch of water far from the port, waiting in line to dock to unload their goods.

On the wharf of the bustling cliff port, if the commercial street is general, people come and go, and in the port, all kinds of ships come and go endlessly, there are large merchant ships, fishing boats, and light boats carrying passengers on the shore, which is very lively.

"This son, take my boat, you will be able to dock soon, only five eldest sons will be fine......"

"Childe should take my boat......"

After the merchant ship came to a stop, many boatmen who had been waiting in this water area for a living to solicit customers kept shouting and pulling customers.

Li Yunzhi and the four of them took a small boat and arrived at the shore after a while.

Li Yunzhi and the four of them walked through the bustling crowd towards Linya City.

"Childe, are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?"

During this time at sea, Li Yunzhi once talked to Ling Wei and the three about Ling, the lord of Linya City. Naturally, I felt that Li Yunzhi and Wei Ling were familiar with each other.

Naturally, Gu Ping thought that Li Yunzhi would go to the City Lord's Mansion first.

Although Li Yunzhi is familiar with Wei Ling, it was a few years ago. After thinking about it, Li Yunzhi felt that it was better to settle down first. So he said:

"No, find an inn for the time being, rest and get ready. Go back and go to the City Lord's Mansion again!"

As he spoke, Li Yunzhi and the four of them had already entered the city.

......

In the cliff city, in an inn.

"Gu Ping, when it gets dark, you will send the second letter. Remember! Don't reveal your whereabouts!" Li Yunzhi explained to Gu Ping.

"Don't worry, your subordinates know what to do!" Gu Ping responded.

Subsequently, the four people who had been drifting on the sea for four or five days summoned the shopkeeper and ordered a table of wine and food. The four of them ate unceremoniously.

At night, Gu Ping had already left. Only Li Yunzhi and three people were left in the room.

"Ling Wei, let's go, go out with me!" Li Yunzhi, who was originally meditating and meditating, got out of bed. Came to the living room and said to Ling Wei.

Ling Wei nodded silently and answered "yes".

Subsequently, Li Yunzhi said to Yi Wu:

"Yi Wu will stay here for the time being, waiting for me to come back. ”

......

After a short time, Li Yunzhi and Ling Wei came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Yunzhi relied on his spiritual sense to find that there were many soldiers arranged around the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't know why the City Lord's Mansion was so heavily guarded. Is something wrong?

Li Yunzhi and Ling Wei glanced at each other, obviously, Ling Wei had already noticed the strangeness around the City Lord's Mansion.

"What kind of person, leave quickly, don't stay in front of the city lord's mansion!"

Not far away, a patrol saw Li Yunzhi and the others, so he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"I'm looking for the Marquis of Wei!" Li Yunzhi stepped forward to talk.

"Master Hou is what you want to see! I advise you to leave quickly! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

In the ranks, a soldier stepped forward and shouted!

"Squeak......

At this moment, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was opened.

"What's going on? I had just passed the gate when I heard such a commotion outside the door!"

I saw an old man over sixty years old walking out of the door. He frowned and looked at everyone.

"Steward Wu, please forgive me!" I waited until I saw these two people lingering outside the door, so I stepped forward to ask......

The soldier who had just scolded Li Yunzhi came forward and confessed.

"Oh, you said you were looking for Master Hou?" the old man heard this, and turned his head to look at Li Yunzhi.

"Exactly, please also ask Steward Wu to report it. Li Yunzhi said to Steward Wu.

Steward Wu has been in the Hou Ye's Mansion for most of his life, and his eyesight is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Seeing that Li Yunzhi is neither humble nor arrogant, his bearing is extraordinary, and he does not look like a teenager should have a temperament at all. Knowing where it comes from is not easy. So he spoke:

"I don't know if this is ......"

"Hehe, I bothered Steward Wu, and when I saw the Marquis of Wei, I said: Spring and autumn, east and west, north, and season. Li Yunzhi said with a smile.

When this housekeeper Wu heard this, he didn't know why, so he had to turn around and enter the mansion.

After a while, the door of the mansion opened again, and Steward Wu hurriedly ran out of the door. Seeing Li Yunzhi, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"This son, Master Hou is invited!"

"There is labor!" Li Yunzhi arched his hand to Steward Wu, and then walked into the City Lord's Mansion with Li Yunzhi.

"Disperse and keep patrolling! After speaking, Steward Wu turned around and left.

Steward Wu took Li Yunzhi and the others to the inner courtyard.

Along the way, Li Yunzhi found that the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion became more and more strange and dignified.

Patrol soldiers are constantly coming and going. It was evident that each team had more patrols than usual.

Is something really going wrong?

After a short time, Steward Wu took Li Yunzhi and the others to a room.

"Master Hou, the people have been brought!" Steward Wu said as he bowed to the door.

Without waiting for someone in the room to respond, Steward Wu pushed open the door and led Li Yunzhi in.

"How can it be a bedroom? Isn't the guest in the study?" Walking into the room, Li Yunzhi found that this was a bedroom, and couldn't help muttering.

Li Yunzhi followed Steward Wu to the inner room, and soon came to the inner room, where he saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed with a pale face, short of breath.

"Ahem...... Cough...... I knew it was...... It's you kid, let people report and play dumb riddles...... Cough...... Not...... Don't blame me for meeting you personally. ”

The man lying in bed seemed to have a hard time talking, and at the same time tried to get up with his hands on the bed.

Seeing this, Li Yunzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support Wei Ling, his face changed, and he said eagerly:

"Uncle Wei, you're injured!"
