It has been 110 years since Taizu Long Chu Yu overthrew the former dynasty Dayue Dynasty and became emperor. In the first 60 years of the Dayan Kingdom, he was basically busy consolidating his power and suppressing the royal family of Dayue who claimed to be the emperor one after another.

It was not until the emperor's father, that is, Long Jie's grandfather, ascended the throne that he relied on his eloquence to roughly rectify the dynasty, and finally pacified the country of Dayan, and promulgated many decrees to reduce taxes and help the people to recuperate, and the social economy began to prosper and stabilize. Everyone wants to live a stable and peaceful life, but without the support of the people, the descendants of the Dayue royal family who have the heart to restore the country are also more than capable of doing so, and gradually fall silent.

Nie Wuzheng is the great-grandson of the last emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, when he was born, the Great Yan Kingdom was in the prosperous period, and his father Nie Xun saw that there was no hope of recovering the country, so he named him Wuzheng, hoping that he would live a peaceful and stable life. However, Nie Xun's loss of ambition does not mean that the people around him have also given up. The descendants of the civil and military ministers of the current dynasty, who have always followed them, are true royal blood relatives, and they have never given up. Their base camp was built in the Sanzhi area, where the Great Yan State bordered the neighboring Qi State and another small tribal state. The external name of the base camp is Xuancheng, because the merchants of the three countries rely on Xuancheng to trade and communicate with neighboring countries, so the base camp has also accumulated a lot of wealth. In order to maintain the safety and daily order of Xuancheng, men and women in the base camp have to practice martial arts, although the soldiers are few but fine.

Nie Wuzheng and his party disguised themselves as businessmen and returned to Xuancheng by water, which was why Shangguan Lei and Long Jie failed to intercept them in time.

Jia Qianqian's principle has always been not to get along with himself, and since he has to go with them, he will get along with them calmly. Thinking that it had been a few months since he had been separated from his parents, he had only sent a letter to report his safety when he stayed in Wujian Villa, and he was afraid that he would not have any freedom when he arrived at their base camp, so he repaired a letter in front of Nie Wuzheng and asked him to find someone to send it to him. only said that he and Shangguan Lei traveled to the rivers and lakes, and when they had the opportunity to go home directly to visit their parents, don't read it, etc.

When Nie Wuzheng saw the letter, a faint sour smell filled his heart, but he still sincerely assured Qianqian that he would definitely let this letter reach Qianqian's parents.

Abandoned the boat and went ashore, took a carriage for two days, and finally arrived at Xuancheng after a journey of more than ten days. The prosperity and liveliness of Xuancheng really made Jia Qianqian dumbfounded. The streets were full of people, some of the things in the shops she didn't even recognize, and some foreigners, dressed in colorful and strange costumes, shouting in a southern and northern tone, all of which made her stunned. Jia Qianqian, who was lying on the side of the carriage door, couldn't wait to get off the car immediately and go shopping.

Nie Wuzheng kept watching her actions with a smile, as if he had guessed her thoughts, pulled her back into the car, lowered the curtain, and said, "Don't worry, when you get to the residence, after you get to the residence, you have eaten and drunk, and you have enough spirits, I will take you shopping." ”

"Really? You don't restrict my movements? Can I come out and play? Jia Qianqian's eyes lit up, and her face was full of excitement.

"Don't worry, you're absolutely free when you get here." Nie Wuzheng naturally wouldn't tell her that Xuancheng's vigilance was first-class, and everyone who entered the city had to be strictly registered, indicating their identity and purpose for coming here, and when they left the city, they would be released only after verifying the records they had entered. When they entered the city just now, there was no obstruction, because Wu Bo had gestured in front, and the people guarding the city gate knew that the young master had returned, so naturally they would not intercept it to register and check. Jia Qianqian is equivalent to an illegal trespasser with no entry record at this time, if she wants to go out, the gatekeeper will naturally not let her go easily.

"Uncle Wu is right, you are indeed different from the mainland here, it is really good to travel and see and open your eyes." Jia Qianqian had completely lost the resentment of being held hostage at this time.

Nie Wuzheng's smile deepened, she liked it here, he hoped that she would be happy, the arrogant, confident, happy and happy girl was Jia Qianqian.

The carriage made its way through the bustling streets, into the heavily guarded inner city, and stopped at a courtyard.

"Qianqian, get out of the car!" After Nie Wuzheng got out of the car, he greeted her with a smile.

After Jia Qianqian came down, he began to look at this base camp. The houses in the inner city are all well-laid out and magnificent*, although they are not very tall and magnificent, but they also have a faint taste of power, and they must have lived here as the core people of the base camp.

In front of the door of one of the most imposing halls, two columns of people stood on either side of the steps, five old men on one side and five young men on the other. These ten people represent the elders and new forces of the base camp.

When these people saw Nie Wuzheng, they bowed down together and saluted together, and said in unison: "Welcome the young master back to the city!" ”

At this time, Nie Wuzheng's face was indifferent and detached, not angry and arrogant, where was there still a little bit of Anyang City

Mu Ne's honest and dull scholarly appearance.

"Everyone's worked hard!" Nie Wuzheng said lightly, and then with a wave of his hand, these people could be regarded as having completed the welcoming ceremony and dispersed.

Nie Wuzheng turned his head and smiled at Jia Qianqian: "Qianqian, you go and freshen up first, and then come and eat with me." Then he said to a girl in green who followed behind: "Xiao Ye, take Miss Jia to live in *." ”

"Yes, young master!" Xiao Ye saluted and said to Jia Qianqian: "Miss Jia, please come with the slave." ”

If you come, you will be safe, Jia Qianqian nodded, and followed Xiao Ye to *. * It is only separated by a wall from the Xiangyun Hall where Nie Wuzheng lives, it is an independent courtyard, which was originally the place where Nie Wuzheng's grandmother lived, after the death of the old lady, this courtyard was occasionally used to entertain the female guests of the royal family in the mainland, but there are very few royal relatives who can come to Xuancheng as guests after all, so this courtyard is basically idle.

Although the inner city is heavily guarded, in order not to attract the attention of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is still managed in the form of a castle, and there is no such decoration as the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. Except for the descendants of the royal family who are in power, who are called masters, and the eldest son who cultivates the succession is called the young master, the other royal descendants can only be called Miss Gongzi. Although it is not as luxurious and erosive as the royal family in the past, everyone is lying on their salaries in the hope of having a chance to return to the country, but the special geographical location of Xuancheng and the wealth that continues to roll in still make the people here live very comfortably.

These days have been on the road, Jia Qianqian has not had the opportunity to take a good bath, and now that he is here, he naturally wants to enjoy it. Xiao Ye sprinkled the secret spices of the palace that had been handed down in the bath barrel, as well as the medicinal powder that had the function of maintaining the skin, and the whole bath room was suddenly filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Jia Qianqian saw the gorgeous floor-length dress that Xiao Ye brought in, hurriedly shook her head, went to the baggage to get the men's clothes she wore every day, and then drove Xiao Ye, who was about to serve her in the bath, out.

Closing the door, taking off his clothes, and sliding into the large bath with moderate water temperature, Jia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. The design of this tub is very special, it is a semi-circular and rectangular structure, the top of the semicircle has a curved notch to rest the head, and the rectangular end can sit in the tub with your feet straight. Naturally, it was much more comfortable than the tub she had used before. Jia Qianqian sat in the water, leaned her head against the groove, and began to close her eyes and enjoy.

The bumpy road in the past few days has made her tired for a long time, but she is relying on her personality of refusing to show weakness and bowing her head, and now she is soaking in this comfortable large bathtub, her head is slightly tilted, and she has fallen asleep.

After Nie Wuzheng finished freshening up, he asked people to bring the food and put it in the small side hall of Xiangyun Palace. However, the meals were all ready, and Jia Qianqian hadn't come over yet, Nie Wuzheng frowned slightly, and decided to go over and take a look in person.

When I came to *, I found that the courtyard was empty, and I was wondering, Xiao Ye walked in with the futon in his arms, and when he saw Nie Wuzheng, he hurriedly put down his things, bowed down and said, "Young master!" ”

Nie Wuzheng asked, "What about Miss Jia?" ”

Xiao Ye looked around for a while, and said, "Miss Jia went to take a bath, don't want the slave to serve, the slave went to find Mother Wang to get the bedding, because Mother Wang was dealing with something, so she waited there for a while to get it back, could it be Miss Jia... It seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the bathhouse, and when he saw the closed door, he smiled reassuringly: "Miss Jia is still in the bathhouse." After saying that, he was stunned for a while, "Ah, why did you wash it for so long?" ”

Nie Wuzheng listened attentively, and found that there was no movement inside, so he gently tapped the door and said, "Qianqian, Qianqian, are you still there?" ”

However, there was still no movement inside, Nie Wuzheng panicked, hesitated, slammed, and kicked open the closed bathroom door.

Jia Qianqian, who was sleeping soundly in the bathtub, was awakened by a loud noise, and then, she saw Nie Wuzheng rushing in. Jia Qianqian, who suddenly remembered his situation, hurriedly shrank into a ball, lay on the edge of the bathtub and screamed with his exposed head: "Get out!" ”

Nie Wuzheng was stunned when he saw Jia Qianqian in the bathtub, then came back to his senses and hurriedly retreated. After a few steps out of the door, he hurriedly retreated and tried to cover the door he had kicked down. Xiao Ye was already overwhelmed by this scene, and stood to the side in a daze and looked at Nie Wuzheng with a flushed face.

As if thinking of something, Nie Wuzheng, who had just wanted to leave, returned to Xiao Ye's side and whispered, "Don't tell anyone what happened just now!" ”

Xiao Ye nodded blankly, and suddenly came back to his senses and said, "But the door is broken!" ”

Nie Wuzheng, who has always been indifferent and alienated from everyone, actually took out a piece of silver, and said a little shyly: "You went to find someone to repair it, and said that you were worried about Miss Jia, and you kicked it in a hurry." ”

At this time, the door of destruction opened again, and Jia Qianqian, who was quickly dressed, rushed out with a half-broken door bolt, and shouted at Nie Wuzheng: "Nie Wuzheng, you damn bastard, this son is going to fight with you!" ”
