In the next two days, Li Yuan and Li Sibing had a night talk, and the two talked happily.

Mainly Li Yuan was listening, and Li Si put forward some key suggestions for the Chu Wangfu to control Lingzhou and even the states in the future based on the discoveries made during this time.

Now Lingzhou is in the stage of integration, and various policies are easy to implement, Li Yuan immediately decided to let Li Si start from Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion, and let Xun Yu and Jia Xu cooperate and coordinate in each prefecture.

A few days later, after Li Yuan dealt with the various affairs played by Xun Yu and Jia Xu, he took Ah Qing and Xiao Yezi to walk leisurely in the passing towns and cities to check the customs of various places.

Since Li Yuan came to this world, in addition to the days in the palace, it was the first time for him to have such a leisurely time period to enjoy the scenery of the Dayu Dynasty.

In the past, when I was in a hurry, I was always worried, my power was weak, my strength was not strong, I couldn't control my life, every time I was in a hurry, I was forced to walk, and I always thought about what I was about to face on the road, and what should I do next? Even every time, it is necessary to calculate the final fiasco, and then how to remedy it.

Now he has Li Si, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Liyi, Ma Chao, Xu Chu and a large number of Wenchen fierce generals under his command, with them, Lingzhou is basically worry-free.

He doesn't point fingers, but relies on modern knowledge to put forward some suggestions to discuss with them, and implement them in line with the situation of this world.

"Your Highness, in front of you is Kagazawa City, shall we still go in?"

Fan Jianqiang set up the carriage and turned back to ask Li Yuan in the carriage.

In the carriage, the carriage is very stable, and the tea will not be spilled on the table, Xiao Yezi is sitting upright at the small table, making tea smoothly, and his eyes skim the big cat and bear in the corner from time to time, revealing very interested eyes.

Hairy, chubby!

It's so cute, I want to touch it!

It's a pity that when he looked at Ah Qing's cold face, he quickly dispelled the thoughts in his heart.

This woman can reverse the existence of the Venerable with a sword, so she should give up asking to touch the big panda.

Xiao Yezi has been in the palace for a long time, and he is very cautious in his behavior and deeds, and he knows how to restrain himself best in the palace.

The people who couldn't restrain themselves in the palace died miserably.

Ah Qing looked at the little leaf that Bi Gong handed him the tea, his eyes moved slightly, and a very crisp voice sounded:

"Xiao Yezi, if there is a bamboo forest in front of you, please take Da Fat to find some fresh bamboo shoots."

Xiao Yezi's eyes lit up, "Okay." ”

Ah Qing maintains a certain amount of kindness to people who like big pandas, and she has always been very generous.

Li Yuan ignored the interaction between Ah Qing and Xiao Yezi, but looked at Jingze City in the distance with some distraction.

This is Jingze City.

That was where he first received start-up funding.

He has a deep memory of the city lord of Jingze and the heads of various families in the city, where he speaks well, can sing and dance, and is generous.

He loved it so much.

"No need, next time!"

Li Yuan shook his head, now he is still secretly returning to Kyoto, and his identity is not easy to expose.

"Good!"

The speed of the carriage quickly crossed the border of Lingzhou, and came to the realm of Lianzhou.

Five days later, on the road in Yinghui County, the largest of the eight prefectures in Lianzhou, Li Yuan's carriage was moving slowly.

Li Yuan looked at most of the people on the official road quietly through the car curtain, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and his eyes were dull walking on the road.

The eyes of the people on the road were fixed on this magnificent carriage, their bodies shrunk, their eyes showed awe, and some even had a hint of hatred.

They don't know who it is, but they must be those dignitaries, or those hateful gang leaders.

Li Yuan's heart was very heavy, he thought that Lianzhou, which was not war-torn, would be much better, but he didn't expect that it would be even more chaotic here, with officials protecting each other, and various forces mixing with each other.

Gangs and bandits roamed the cities and places, looting treasures and plundering the people.

"Alas, this damn troubled world!"

A convoy gradually paralleled Li Yuan's carriage, and the speaker was a businessman boss with a round face and a big belly, but his eyebrows were full of sorrow, sitting on a carriage pulling goods, and several people around him also looked sad.

"The price of entering the city has risen again! It's gone up twice this month! ”

"Alas, business is difficult to do, and there are many robbers passing by, and if you continue to do it, it will really be a loss-making deal."

"Alas, who said no, now that there are more bandits, it would be lucky if they could communicate, and it would be a big deal to lose some money for tolls.

I'm afraid that we will encounter that kind of thugs who don't want to die, rob money, and kill people, and we hire martial artists to spend a lot of money. Another merchant sighed.

"Well, let's hurry up, I hope we can reach the county seat safely." One looked at the road ahead, revealing a hint of fear, as if there was a tiger in front of him.

"Ma Dan, after this trip, I won't do it."

"Alas!"

This convoy was very large, with thirty or forty carriages pulling goods, hundreds of strong men guarding them, and a few Heavenly Realm martial artists walking in the front.

It looks like a few peddlers are walking together.

Suddenly, the businessman with a round face noticed that Li Yuan on the carriage in front of him was looking at the pedestrians on the side of the road with a dazzled expression, and his expression paused, and his eyes quickly looked at this gorgeous-looking carriage.

Li Yuan put down the curtain and said to Fan Jianqiang outside:

"Be strong, drive faster."

"Yes, Childe!"

Fan Jianqiang heard Li Yuan's words and immediately sped up the speed of the carriage.

"Drive!"

The carriage quickly overtook the caravan.

"Drive!" The carriage drove in a hurry, and Fan Jianqiang quickly whipped his horse.

"Wait a minute!"

"Carriage ahead, wait a minute!"

Behind, a hurried voice sounded.

Fan Jianqiang was now at the peak of the Grandmaster's cultivation, and he could hear the voice behind him very clearly, his face moved, and he stopped the whip in his hand, but he didn't stop immediately.

"Stop."

Inside the carriage, Li Yuan's voice sounded.

"Yes!"

The carriage slowed down and stopped after traveling a few tens of meters.

The fat businessman in the back saw that the carriage stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out of the truck, and trotted all the way over, and the surrounding businessmen and bosses looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do.

"This son, excuse me."

The fat businessman came to the carriage panting and said to Li Yuan in the carriage.

"Why did you intercept us?" Fan Jianqiang looked at him coldly.

"In the next surname Zhou, it is a trader in our Yinghui County, others call me Lao Zhou, but the son is going to Yinghui County?"

This old Zhou didn't wait for Fan Jianqiang to speak, stretched out his greasy and fat finger to the road ahead, and continued:

"There is only one road to the county, a hundred miles away, and now it is a very dangerous road, and several bands of mountain bandits are entrenched on this road, often plundering caravanserans. It's better for Childe to go with us, we have a large number of caravans, hundreds of good hands, several acquired martial artists, and an innate master in charge, those mountain bandits don't dare to act rashly when they see us, and they will take care of them together. ”

Li Yuan opened the curtain of the car and looked at this humble and smiling old Zhou, frowned and asked:

"Are there so many mountain bandits now, when I walked here last year, it was still safe all the way, and the county town didn't care about these?"

When Lao Zhou heard Li Yuan's words, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Tube? How to care, those officials in the county town don't care about our life or death, now as long as the city is stable, this road is dense and steep, and the mountain bandits will run into the mountains after interception, and most of them are desperate people, there is no oil or water at all, and the officers and soldiers are not willing to come out and work hard to catch the bandits. ”

Li Yuan listened to the words and reported to Lao Zhou.

"Then I'm going to excuse you."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Lao Zhou hurriedly said with a smile.

As they spoke, the caravan had already approached them.

Under Lao Zhou's arrangement, Li Yuan's carriage was incorporated into the middle of the caravan.

At the front of the caravan, several businessmen who partnered with Lao Zhou frowned when they saw Lao Zhou let a carriage merge into the caravan.

"Old Zhou, who is in the carriage?"

"Old Zhou, in this situation, how can you easily let others enter the caravan, what if he is in a gang with the mountain bandits in front of him?"

"yes, we don't even know anything about him."

"Look at that groom, it's no ordinary man."

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "On the carriage should be a son and brother from a certain family, go out, help more." ”

"Alas, you, the person who called you is optimistic about that son, don't cause any trouble because of him."

"No problem, when we get to the county seat, I'll do the east!"

With Lao Zhou's promise, several businessmen did not dwell on this issue anymore, and under Lao Zhou's eloquence, everyone changed the topic again.

It seemed that they were tired of talking, and went back to their respective carriages.

Lao Zhou also quickly came to a big carriage in the middle of the road.

"Daddy!"

When Lao Zhou entered, a crisp voice sounded.

In the carriage, there was also a beautiful woman with a delicate face, watching Lao Zhou come back, showing a smile, her eyes flashing, looking a little shrewd.

Lao Zhou looked at his own pearl and sighed:

"Xiuyu, I told you, let you stay at home, you have to come along, you see how many bandits we have encountered along the way, now you regret it."

The woman named Xiuyu, seeing Lao Zhou's sighing appearance, gently stroked his chest, revealing a sly smile:

"Daddy, I'm not worried about you, and I've never been in business, didn't you say that you will hand over the burden to me in the future, and you must come out to see and understand."

"That was before, when is it now, look at the current mountain bandits so many, how dare I let you come out."

"Daddy, you're so powerful, haven't all the mountain bandits you encountered have been solved?" Xiuyu saw that Lao Zhou had an angry appearance, and hurriedly praised him.

"Those are ordinary mountain bandits, but can the mountain bandits in front be the same, this is a mountain bandit close to the county town, the closer to the county town, the stronger the mountain bandits, the mountain bandits here are either too strong, or they are ...... behind"

When Lao Zhou said this, his face darkened, and he kept sighing.

"Okay, Daddy, I know your good intentions, but why did you suddenly let an unknown carriage into the caravan, it's not like you." Xiuyu knew Lao Zhou very well, and when she saw his sad face, she immediately changed the topic.

Sure enough, hearing this, Lao Zhou immediately refreshed for a while, carefully lifted the curtain, looked at the carriage that had just joined behind, sighed, but smiled, lowered the curtain, and said to Xiuyu:

"It's not because of you."

"Because of me?" Xiuyu's cheeks suddenly turned red, she had just heard Lao Zhou say that there was a boy in the carriage, and she hurriedly said:

"Daddy, why are you like this, do you think your daughter is so worried about getting married?

If I want to find a husband openly, believe it or not, the person who wants to marry me can line up from the west of the city to the east of the city. ”

"What are you thinking?" Lao Zhou looked at Xiuyu's annoyed and angry appearance, and tapped her head:

"I want you to marry him, you may not be worthy of him."

Lao Zhou approached Xiuyu, and his voice was three degrees lower.

"Let me tell you, that son is not ordinary, I have seen the son of Yinghui County Shou do not have his temperament."

"Ah, then why did you let him come to our caravan? People like this must be guarded by strong people, and they don't need our help. Xiuyu's eyes widened, in her opinion, the son of Yinghui County Shou was already a top son, and there were still people who were stronger than him.

"He doesn't need it, we need it!"

Lao Zhou looked at Xiuyu's surprised expression and showed a smug smile:

"It's not because of you, otherwise how would I give up such a big face to beg that son.

I think that the horseman is not an ordinary person, he is more generous than the two innate masters we invited, he must be a powerful guard, with his existence, when we encounter mountain bandits, we can be regarded as a little protection.

Remember, if our caravan is robbed by mountain bandits and becomes unstoppable, you run to the wagon. ”

"Daddy!" Xiuyu saw Lao Zhou's somewhat smug eyes, her eyes were red, and her nose was sour.

She knew that all this was for her father's safety, and if she hadn't sneaked out before, her father might not have to worry so much.

"But Daddy, if we get involved with a top big man like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it, if he knows that we are using him, only a slight move, we may die."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I take a closer look at that son, his face is handsome, righteous and awe-inspiring, at first glance, he is a person who is easy to get along with, we will be fine."

Lao Zhou comforted softly, his face was full of confidence, but a trace of worry in the depths of his eyes betrayed him.

He can only hope that Li Yuan is a good person, otherwise if it is the kind of son-in-law with a human face and a beast's heart, it will be over.

If Lao Zhou lifted the curtain now, he would find that Fan Jianqiang's eyes had been staring at his carriage, his eyes were very cold, and he said that these businessmen only had the intention of seeing profits, how could they help others for no reason, it turned out that they wanted to take advantage of them.

In the carriage, Li Yuan calmly tasted the fragrant tea made by Xiao Yezi.

"You're not angry?"

Ah Qing looked at Li Yuan curiously.

They could hear the conversation of father and daughter in the carriage in the distance.

A dignified Chu king actually suffered from the calculations of a businessman, if this was known by his opponent, wouldn't he laugh off his big teeth.

It's nothing short of a shame.

"Why be angry?"

Li Yuan gently put down the teacup and showed a faint smile on his face:

"Seizing the opportunity can be applied to everyone, he has this look, he has this courage, we just have nothing to do, why not."

"You knew what he had in mind from the beginning?" Ah Qing's clear and bright eyes flashed and flashed, very good-looking.

"Does this matter, everyone has it." Li Yuan played with the teacup, his eyes were indifferent.

"He's right, a carriage like ours driving on the road of mountain bandits, it's a big fat sheep, there are a lot of mountain bandits who don't know what to do, there are caravans, we may be able to have less trouble."
