Catching Zhou Botao, who was in a daze, Tian Bule did not stay long, left a bamboo slip, explained the situation, and continued eastward. They left Wancheng without encountering any other troubles along the way, and ten days later Tian Bule and his party had arrived at the Qi-Wei border.

Although Tian Bule always felt too calm, because he believed that Wei Mu would not let him leave so easily. However, he sent people to reconnoiter carefully, and found nothing suspicious.

Tian Heng is very grateful for Tian Bule's righteousness, and Yinghong may rarely appear in public because of what happened in Wancheng. Tian Bule could see that Tian Heng liked her very much, but Tian Heng was too dull and didn't dare to show it.

Jin Wuyue's relationship with Liuyun and Tian Bule is still not very harmonious, but they are much more intimate with other people, and they are no longer as distant as before.

On this day, they came to the Qi-Wei border, which is a continuous mountain range. Originally, Wei and Qi did not border, but after Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, Qi, Wei, and Chu divided the Song State, and the borders of the three countries were thus connected.

Tian Bule and the others were resting in the woods, and Mo Feifeng led people to the front to investigate, and they had already returned at this time.

Mo Feifeng came to Tian Bule and said, "Juzi, there is a small city on the way to Wei, called Maqiu. Maqiu's guard is Wan Jin, the leader of the local gang Shahai Gang, who is the cousin of Zhou Botao, the former guard of Wancheng. I heard that we were going to pass through here, and I had already said that we would not want to pass through the poachor alone. ”

Tian Bule frowned and said, "Really, how many people does he dare to stop us?"

Mo Fei attacked: "I heard that Long Yangjun has also arrived in Maqiu City, and he is now a guest in Wanjin's mansion. ”

"How did he get here?"

Tian Bule pondered for a while, and decided: "You prepare a gift for me, and I will personally visit him tonight." ”

Mo Feijing whispered to dissuade: "Juzi, if he wants to be unfavorable to you, Juzi is afraid that Juzi will be in danger." ”

Tian Bule snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "With his little strength, do you want to stop me? I just want to see who is supporting him." If he really doesn't know each other, I'll tear down his Maqiu City. ”

Mo Fei's expression was clear, and he felt that Tian Bule now had more and more of that kind of temperament and majesty of a superior person. As long as he speaks out, he will give people full confidence.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Tian Bule paid a lot of money to enter the city, and entered Maqiu City with Tian Heng and other ten people. Maqiu City has a population of only three or four thousand, and half of it is a merchant who comes and goes. Due to the frequent trade between Qi and Wei, salt and seafood from the sea were transported in large quantities to Zhao Wei and other inland areas in exchange for their grain, furs and timber. Wan Jin started through this, first controlling the trading market here through gangs, and then squeezing out the original guards, buying off the officials of the Wei State, and becoming the "soil emperor" of Maqiu.

Since Jiang Taigong passed "the industry of trade and industry, the benefits of fish and salt", the Qi people have attached great importance to commercial activities, and the number of merchants in Qi is also the largest among the countries of the Warring States. Walking on the streets of Maqiu City, Tian Bule could hear Qi Guo's accent from time to time, and he felt quite cordial in his heart. The city has only been around for a long time, and most of the shops on the streets are still new.

Since it was still early, Tian Bule and the others wandered around the streets. Everyone came to a shop called Yueqin Pavilion, the shop set up a flagpole, the flagpole hung a picture of a beautiful woman, dressed in white, skin like snow, hair bun high, eyes like stars, like Luo Shen Lingbo, and like a fairy descending to earth, fluttering with the charm of birth.

Tian Bule remembered that Ji Yanran once said that Yueqin Pavilion was the property under Qinqing's name. Looking at the statue of the beautiful woman on the flagpole, Tian Bule admired in his heart, it seems that the ancient businessmen in the Warring States Period also knew how to use the trick of "image spokesperson". Seeing that Qinqing's "chain operation" was very successful, Tian Bule remembered the papermaking technology he invented, and thought that he could open up sales through Qinqing's Yueqin Pavilion, but he didn't know when he would be able to see this peerless beauty who was known as the world with Ji Yanran.

Tian Bule couldn't help but stop and led people in, only to find that most of the ornaments sold inside were all kinds of accessories for women. When those women saw the handsome Tian Bule, they immediately focused their eyes on him.

When the owner of the shop saw Tian Bule's dress and bearing, he immediately greeted him in person with a smile on his face.

Tian Bule chose some ornaments for the girls and prepared to take them back. He saw Tian Heng looking at the ornaments on the lattice of the shop, and quipped, "Brother Tian, do you want to buy one for Miss Yinghong?"

Tian Heng's old face turned red and shook his head again and again.

Tian Bule turned his head and continued to look at other things. At this time, Tian Heng grabbed a delicate jewelry box on the counter, quickly took out a small piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the man, and said in a low voice: "No need to look for it." ”

Everyone walked out of the Yueqin Pavilion, and there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the street, and many people hurriedly ran over, and even some merchants followed without even taking care of their shops.

Driven by curiosity, Tian Bule grabbed a person's arm and said, "Brother Tai, what happened?"

The man said loudly: "Long Yangjun is here, everyone runs over to see the beauty." ”

Tian Bule said: "But Long Yangjun is a man, right?"

The man gave Tian Bule a blank look and said, "What's wrong with the man? He looks more feminine than a woman." I'm leaving, if you want to go see it, hurry up. With that, he broke free from Tian Bule and ran forward.

Everyone also heard the man's shout from afar, "Longyang, I love you......."

Tian Bule couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the Warring States atmosphere was open, but this was too open.

Mo Feifeng on the side asked cautiously, "Juzi, should we go and have a look?"

Tian Bule glanced at Mo Feizhen strangely, could it be that this usually silent guy is also a glass? Thinking of this, Tian Bule shivered and said, "No need, he will definitely appear in Wanjin's mansion at night anyway." "If we go in the past, it won't be good for him to find out. ”

When the lanterns were first on, lanterns were hung on the streets of Maqiu City, and the prosperous scene was not much worse than the big beams.

Tian Bule led people to find Wanjin's mansion.

The main building in Feng Jin Mansion is a luxurious courtyard house, which is also the highest place in Maqiu, built on white stone steps, and the main entrance has a brick carved gatehouse and a wall.

Above the gatehouse, there is a door plaque with the words "Wanfu" written on it, and the weather is myriad, showing the identity and status of the owner as the ruler of Maqiu.

There are left and right courtyards on both sides of the main house, and there is a large garden behind the house, as for how many courtyards there are, it is not the angle from which Tian Bule is located, Tian Bule swept around, and saw that the entire courtyard group was surrounded by high walls, and it was an ancient castle-like gatehouse just now.

In Wanfu, dozens of octagonal palace lamps illuminated the square in front of the main house as bright as day, and a carriage was parked on one side, but the horse had been taken away, probably this was Long Yangjun's car.

After Tian Bule handed over the post, the guards at the gate of Feng's Mansion were stunned for a moment and quickly went in to report. After a while, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked out and said, "Lu Guang, the head of the Xia Wan Mansion, has seen Gongzi!"

Tian Bule returned the salute and said, "There is Brother Lao Lu!"

Seeing that he was calm and imposing, Lu Guang didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Son, please go in and talk about it!"

Tian Bule nodded and followed him up the steps.

Wanjin is worthy of the local tyrant of Maqiu, the main house is exquisitely crafted, breathtaking, the eaves beam is made of the whole Nanmu, the bucket arch cornice, the stone carved brick carving, wonderful.

After arriving at the outer entrance and sitting down, Tian Bule said: "Brother Lu, please inform Brother Wan, just say that I came to see my cousin for his business." ”

Lu Guang was stunned, wanted to stop and stopped, hesitated for a while, and then went to the hall to report.

Tian Bule waited quietly.

If Wan Jin refuses to see him, what should he do?
