At dusk, a carriage, escorted by a dozen guards, came to the north gate.

The officers and soldiers defending the city inspected the transfer plates, and after a simple record, they were quickly released.

At the end of each year, whether it is the court or local officials, it is rare to have a leisure, so at this time, the number of people visiting relatives and friends begins to increase.

In the past two days, there have been four or five waves of magnates in the capital who just came in through the north gate.

The carriage slowly drove into the city gate, and the young man in the carriage opened the curtain and looked curiously at this strange city.

The boy looked twelve or thirteen years old, but he was very tall, wearing a loose robe, with long hair scattered, and a relaxed appearance.

Following the carriage was an old man in fine clothes and in good spirits.

The old man looked lean, but he was not slow at all, and always kept a constant distance from the carriage.

Seeing the curtain open, the old man smiled and said in a soft voice: "Little prince, the old slave came to Nine Winds City thirty years ago, and it was not as lively as it is now, so it can be seen that today is a peaceful and prosperous era." ”

The young man in the car looked curious: "Fang Banban, thirty years ago, was it very poor here?"

Fang Wuxian hurriedly nodded and said, "At that time, the Nine Winds Province was not called the Nine Winds Province, but was named after the three tributaries of the Yinsha River, called the Three Rivers Province, and the Nine Winds City was also called the Three Rivers City. ”

"Then why did you change your name?"

Fang Wuxian is like a number of family treasures: "In the past, the three rivers were in the province, the floods were rampant, the people's livelihood withered, and when the emperor was in power, he greatly promoted water conservancy and dredged the river. A scholar wrote a letter admonishing that there was enough water in Sanchuan, so how could it still be named after Sanchuan? Therefore, the imperial court renamed Sanchuan Province as Jiufeng Province, which means that feng shui is mutually beneficial and all things are cultivated. ”

The young man listened with relish and asked curiously, "Fang Banban, why is Sanshui Town still called Sanshui Town?"

Fang Wuxian paused for a moment, and said shyly: "Little prince, the old slave only read the records of the provincial capital before leaving, and he didn't have time to see it before he left. ”

The young man couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, and said for a moment: "Let's go, when I see Ye Changsheng, I'll ask him personally!"

Fang Wuxian hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Little Lord, I heard that the branch of Wenjian Pavilion is about to open, let's go now, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." ”

Trouble?

The young man said unhappily: "This king is willing to deign to come to see him, he has already given him a big face, and he still dares to think that I am causing trouble?!"

"Little Wang Ye doesn't know, there are actually a lot of unspoken rules for opening a store. ”

Unspoken rules?

Fang Wuxian explained: "You think, in this Nine Winds City, the powerful and wealthy businessmen have been operating for hundreds or even thousands of years before they have today's pattern. The plate is so big, someone wants to insert it and get a piece of the pie, how can it be so easy. ”

The young man nodded thoughtfully: "You mean to say that someone will exclude him and embarrass him?"

"Exclusion is certain, and it may not be difficult to be embarrassed," Fang Wuxian said, "If the new store opens smoothly, it means that everyone acquiesces to your existence." ”

"If on the day of the opening, there are local magnates who come to cheer for you, it means that you have some connections, and people may not deal with you for a while,"

Fang Wuxian's voice changed, "But if it opens, there is not even a person to cheer on, just imagine, who will take you seriously?"

He couldn't help but sigh: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the old slave doesn't know what's wrong, and suddenly remembered the prince's time." ”

The young man was surprised: "Father?"

The old man felt out of his temper and hurriedly confessed, but he didn't dare to mention a word.

The young man said stupidly: "If you don't say it, I also know that my father was not favored by the courtiers back then, and no one was willing to speak for him." My father sent him to the frontier, fought in the south and the north, was born and died, and galloped on horseback for ten years. Ten years of military exploits only allowed him to get a place in the court. ”

The young man's eyes couldn't help but turn red, he thought of the exclusion and suppression his father suffered back then, and also remembered the humiliation and panic when he was alone in the capital as a hostage.

His excitement became more and more uncontrollable, he slammed his fist on the window, and said loudly: "I want to see, who dares not to let Ye Changsheng open a store!"

Fang Wuxian hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty, but he was relieved in his heart.

The little prince has not forgotten the difficult days back then, otherwise, how could he empathize with Ye Changsheng's experience?

He had to defend even a person he had never met, how could he discard those old men and servants who had come all the way back then?

Ye Changsheng's luck, isn't it his luck?

The carriage circled the streets near the Doge's Palace, and at last headed for one of the largest inns in the city.

Since the little prince wants to cheer for the Wenjian Pavilion, there is no need to go to the governor's mansion again, so as not to alarm too many people and spoil the interest of the little prince.

However, for the safety of the little prince, Fang Wuxian still informed some people and asked them to protect them secretly.

Almost at the same time, on the third floor of the palatial Tianbao Pavilion, a top-notch auction ended.

Yan Ruyi, the eight-sided beauty shopkeeper, smiled beautifully, and sent the distinguished guests downstairs one by one.

The distinguished guests left satisfied, Yan Ruyi returned to the living room, looked at the counted list, and smiled bitterly.

At today's auction, Tianbao Pavilion was bleeding heavily, giving these guys a lot of cheapness.

These bastards, if they take advantage, they may not help you, but if they don't, they will definitely not help you.

Yan Ruyi didn't have much luxury, he just hoped that these people could remain neutral and not appear at the opening ceremony of the Sword Pavilion.

Ye Changsheng invited some small magnates through Mo Choubo's relationship, and whether these small magnates will go in the end depends on these big magnates at today's auction.

That's right, what Yan Ruyi is doing now is to block the Ask Sword Pavilion.

On the official side, it is impossible for the Governor's Mansion to send people, the other officials are a group of wall grass, before the situation is clear, how dare they rashly give Ye Changsheng a platform?

As for transcendent forces such as the Tangmen Temple and the Refiner Guild, they look down on merchants in their bones, and there has never been a precedent for any store.

There's no reason, when they get to Ye Changsheng, they'll make an exception, right?

In order to achieve the goal, Yan Ruyi has already been opened, and all the doors that can be blocked are blocked.

She just wanted to tell everyone, tell Ye Changsheng that even if she didn't use an off-the-job move, Tianbao Pavilion would definitely be able to bring down the Sword Pavilion.

Thinking of the miserable scene at the door on the day of the opening of the Sword Pavilion, as well as Ye Changsheng's gloomy expression, Yan Ruyi's heart swelled with happiness, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

White-haired Changsheng, see how the old lady cleans you up!

"Master, the banquet is ready, do you want to invite the distinguished guests from the capital now?" A maid stepped forward, looked at Yan Ruyi strangely, and asked in a low voice.

Yan Ruyi came to his senses, coughed, and walked out proudly.

only let Ye Changsheng lose his soul, how could he solve the hatred in her heart?

She specially invited a master from the capital, just to smash the field of the Sword Pavilion.
