Jizhou is close to the sea, there is a good harbor, and the people can have a harvest just by going out to sea to fish.

In addition, trading with the outside world can earn a lot of silver, which used to be the richest place in the entire Yan Kingdom, and there is no one.

The reason why it is said to have been because the previous emperor of Yan decided to impose a sea ban for some reason.

Jizhou, which is close to the sea, is gradually declining.

Although the foundation is still there, it is no longer prosperous.

Now the new Yan Emperor has ruled the Yan Kingdom for decades, and he still maintains the strategy of sea ban.

Jizhou can only rely on commerce and trade with the surrounding areas to maintain the little remaining family fund.

But.

Because Yan Kingdom is too far north, more than half of the land is in the cold and very barren.

Therefore, Jizhou, which has declined, is still rich in the Yan Kingdom, and there have been many nobles over the years.

Among them, the most representative is one of the actual rulers of Yan State, the right prime minister Liu Yuan.

No doubt.

The old man of the Liu family in Jizhou that the young man in front of him was referring to the right prime minister Liu Yuan.

Fang Xiu, as the prime minister of the Great Cadre, once directly confronted the 300,000 army of the Yan State, and he couldn't say anything about the situation in the Yan State, but it was not too much worse.

So he quickly reacted that this guy was Liu Yuan's grandson.

But.

Since Liu Yuan allowed him to come to the land of the enemy country, presumably his status in the Liu family was not very high.

Of course.

For Fang Xiu, his identity has no meaning.

Not to mention that he is Liu Yuan's grandson, he is Liu Yuan's father, or Liu Yuan himself, Fang Xiu will not take it seriously.

Thus.

Fang Xiu didn't talk nonsense to him, he just said lightly, "Get out!"

Liu Shanghua was full of confidence in the conditions he offered, and with his identity revealed, he thought that the person in front of him, who didn't look too old, should not be so uninteresting.

But he didn't expect that he would dare to put such a score in front of him!

You must know that although he is a native of Yan State, with his power and a little means, it is not difficult to rectify a Qianren, Zhou people, or Wu people.

Liu Shanghua's face was gloomy for a few seconds, then he regained his smile and said lightly: "The gentleman doesn't win people's love, he is in Xia Menglang, farewell."

With that, he walked away.

Yang Yuhuan saw Liu Shanghua leaving, and he was a little unhappy.

In her expectation, Xiangye should send someone to hang this guy who is talking nonsense, pump it hard, and throw it into the street before he can relieve his anger.

Of course, she thought so in her heart, but she still showed a happy smile on her face, leaned into Fang Xiu's arms, and said coquettishly, "The slave family knows that Xiangye is reluctant to sell the slave family."

Fang Xiu reached out and pinched her little face, and said with a smile, "You really think so?"

Yang Yuhuan wanted to say, "Of course!" , but seeing Fang Xiu's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, he still chose to remain silent.

It's one thing to be naïve, it's another thing to show sincerity properly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled and asked, "Say, how are you going to get angry?"

When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and the whole person was instantly interested.

But just for a moment, she returned to her original innocent appearance, and said coquettishly: "As long as the master is by the slave's side, the slave family will have no anger in his heart, only happiness."

Side.

When Li Yingyue heard this, she couldn't help but pout, speechless.

"You are not angry, sir, I am angry in my heart."

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he looked at several young men not far away and made a look.

One of them stood up very naturally, came to Fang Xiu's side, and said softly, "Master commands."

Fang Xiu said lightly: "Grab the willow wave just now and send it."

When you go to the yamen of Wochuan Mansion, as well as his subordinates and accomplices, don't let one go, tell the prefect of Wochuan Mansion, and say that these people are the fine works of Yan Guo, and they must not be let go without the order of the first village."

"Yes, sir."

The man replied and walked away quickly.

Yang Yuhuan saw that Fang Xiu was angry for himself, his eyes were shining, the original unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and he happily took out the pastry, handed it to Fang Xiu's mouth, and said coquettishly: "Master, don't be in a bad mood because of some bad guys......

Fang Xiu nodded, took a bite of the pastry gently, and continued to listen to the music.

The other side.

After Liu Shanghua left the second floor, he found an empty table and sat down, his face was gloomy like water, and he didn't say a word.

Behind.

A man who looked a little fierce asked, "Young Master, do you want to make a small move?"

Liu Shang waved his head and glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "That guy is not an ordinary person, he sits firmly on Mount Tai's temperament, I have only seen it in the old man's body, no accident, he should be from the top families of the two countries of Qian and Zhou."

You send someone to check his details, if you can't find out, the matter will be settled, if it is found out, it is just a small person, you take a few people to follow him, the men are slaughtered, and the two women are captured alive."

"Little one understands."

The man nodded, took a step back, and hid in the shadows to keep him safe.

Liu Shang sat on the first floor, listened to the song, and remembered what had just happened, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

Less than a stick of incense.

Unable to restrain his emotions, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he instructed his subordinates: "Now go and check his details, when did he arrive at Wochuan Mansion, where did he come from, who he came into contact with, what his identity is, within a day, you must have eyebrows!"

"Yes, young master!"

The man answered, turned around and was about to leave.

It's just that.

He hadn't taken a few steps before he noticed that there seemed to be eyes on him in the dark.

Looking around, I didn't find anything.

Years of experience licking blood on the tip of a knife told him that he was being targeted.

And the person who is eyeing them is definitely a master.

Hesitated for a few seconds.

He stopped, leaned over to Liu Shanghua's side, and told him what he had found.

"Targeted?"

Liu Shanghua was slightly stunned, and then his brows furrowed.

It has been seven days since he came to Wochuan Mansion, and he has come into contact with many people, and it is normal for him to be targeted.

Since someone is staring at you, there are some things that are inconvenient to do.

He didn't hesitate, he immediately made a decision, and ordered, "Go back to the restaurant, pack your things, and set off for Jiannan."

"Yes, young master!"

The man answered, and stood beside Liu Shangwa, protecting him.

This time.

In the crowd, several men wearing padded jackets and looking ordinary approached them silently.

The next second.

These unremarkable-looking men suddenly took out their short blades from their arms and surrounded the two masters and servants from all directions.

Immediately after, a cold voice sounded.

"Come with us, or I'll kill you now!"

The voice did not carry the slightest emotion, and was full of murderous energy.

The guard guarding the willow wave wanted to fight to the death, but when he saw a few more people approaching quickly, he still gave up this idea and said in a low voice, "Young master, you can't leave."

The implication is that in their current situation, there is no other way than to listen to each other.

When Liu Shanghua heard this, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

After hesitating for a few seconds, a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said, "I am a businessman from Jizhou, and I have not committed any crimes, nor have I made any enemies, so there may be some misunderstanding between us."

As soon as the words fell, the cold voice sounded again.

"No misunderstanding, another nonsense, kill you!"

「......」

Where did this madman come from?

Liu Shanghua complained frantically in his heart, gritted his teeth, and he still chose to listen to the other party's words.

It's better to die later than now.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The voice fell.

A cold light flashed suddenly.

The next second.

Willow's face with thin skin and tender flesh was scratched with a bloody mark.

"If you talk nonsense, the next cut will be your neck!"

「......」

When Liu Shanghua heard this, his heart swelled with strong anger and fear.

He could feel that these crazy people in front of him who came out of nowhere really wanted his life!

After living for so many years, he had never been so close to death.

He nodded heavily, didn't dare to make the slightest rash move, and obediently followed a few people and walked in a certain direction.

I don't know how long it took.

He was taken by these madmen to the yamen of Wochuan Mansion.

"The Yamen of Wochuan Mansion? These guys are the catchers of the Wochuan Mansion?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was vetoed by Liu Shang.

Although it is the most prosperous city in the vicinity.

But Catch Fast will never have such strength.

If nothing else, these guys in front of him are from the Qianguo Mansion.

He didn't understand, why did the people from the Qianguo government arrest him?

Just because he is the grandson of Prime Minister Dayan?

It doesn't make sense!

Let's not mention that now the war between Qianguo and Yan has ended.

Let's just say that Yan Ren's entry and exit from Wochuan Mansion was not affected, why was he arrested?

I'm thinking about it.

I saw that the man in front of him took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, showed it to the people of the Yamen of Wochuan Mansion, and said in a cold tone: "The Lord's order, these two fine works from the Yan Kingdom are imprisoned in the prison, and they are not to be released without the Lord's order."

The head catcher of the Yamen of Wochuan Mansion saw the words "First Village" on the jade pendant, and his face was already showing awe.

When I heard the word "Lord", I was shocked, a little incredible.

As everyone knows, the first village was founded by Fang Xiang himself.

The lord of the first village is naturally the square phase.

Unexpectedly, he could receive an order from the prime minister as the head catcher of the Yamen of the Wochuan Mansion.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said solemnly, "Obey orders!"

Immediately, with a wave of his big hand, he said, "Someone, put on the torture instrument!"

「......」

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shanghua was stunned.

When did he become a meticulous worker?

And how can anyone enter the yamen, he didn't try anything, didn't ask anything, and went directly to the torture instrument!

I knew that he came to Wochuan Mansion to do business, but I didn't know that I thought he was coming to assassinate the emperor of Qianguo!

"I'm not a meticulous worker, you have wronged me!"

Liu Shanghua knew that once he was on the torture instrument, it would be even more difficult to leave.

Therefore, he was busy shouting out his grievances.

This time.

The guards on the side seemed to have discovered something, their pupils contracted slightly, and they said in surprise, "You are the subordinate of the person who leaned on the Cui Building!"

When Liu Shanghua heard this, he was stunned at first, and then showed an incredible look, and said, "You guys are that guy's people?"

Fang Xiu's guards were all silent in the face of Liu Shangwaving.

After making sure that the two were under control, they told the head catcher two more sentences and asked him to report the matter to the prefect of Wochuan Prefecture, and then turned around and left, looking for their companions.

even though

Instead of torturing the two of them, they still have many ways to find their companions.

After Liu Shanghua was put on the torture instrument, he looked at the backs of several people, almost in despair.

"I'm just trying to buy a handmaid from that guy, isn't that a common thing? Why did you do this to me?"

"As the saying goes, buying and selling does not lead to benevolence and righteousness, and you cadres do not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness!"

As soon as the words fell.

Caught quickly, he slammed his back twice with the handle of his knife, spat it, and scolded, "Dog, you dare to be presumptuous when you come here!" One more word and I'll break your leg!"

「......」

At this moment, Liu Shanghua completely fell into despair.

It is said that the Yan people are barbaric and martial.

When he arrived at this Wochuan Mansion, he found that the original Qianren were more barbaric, more martial, and more unreasonable.

No wonder the 300,000 troops of the imperial court will collapse in Yongzhou...... These guys really don't talk about martial arts!

............

Leaning on the green building.

Fang Xiu enjoyed the beating of the back of the little maid, and said lightly: "Those two guys have already been imprisoned in the dungeon, and when they are done with their business, they will return to Wochuan Mansion and give you a good breath."

When Yang Yuhuan heard this, his eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents, and he said with a smile, "I know that the master is the best for the slave family."

Side.

Li Yingyue didn't want to look at them, and felt that the music in the restaurant was a little noisy, so she was silent for a few seconds, stood up, and said, "I'll go out for a walk."

Fang Xiu looked at her with no expression on his face, neither agreeing nor agreeing.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds.

In the end, it was Li Yinyue who broke the silence.

"At this point, I don't have to run anymore."

The implication is that the entire Zhou Kingdom is already in your pocket, and I am the titular Empress of the Great Zhou who you helped up.

In addition, it is much freer than before.

Is there any need to escape?

Run to the Yan Kingdom, or the Zhou Kingdom, and then wait for the opportunity to move and recover the Great Zhou?

She wasn't that naïve, and she wasn't so stupid.

"Okay." Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Come back before dark."

Li Yingyue didn't say anything more, nodded, and walked away.

After she left.

Fang Xiu gave the guard at the table next to him a look.

The guards at the next table immediately understood and left.

The other side.

After Li Yinyue walked out of Yicui Building, looking at the bustling street, a sense of loneliness rose inexplicably.

It's like the world is big, but there is no place for her.

After pausing for a moment, she sighed inwardly and wandered aimlessly.

The city of Wochuan is a little more prosperous than she imagined.

Although it is not as good as Chang'an and Jinnan, it is not much worse.

Walking through the streets, you can see people walking in a hurry, all of them merchants who have come here to do business.

In addition to this, there are also local people with more or less smiles on their faces.

It's a little different from what she wanted to do first.

In her opinion, Wochuan Mansion has just experienced a big war, and the people here should be bored, why are they smiling?
