Chapter 56: The Black Shop

It is indeed good that the Northern Expedition killed all the foreigners, but it also completely wiped out the family foundation of the Chuyuan Dynasty.

The long-term campaign made Emperor Yongyuan sick and died of illness in the barracks.

It is said that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and after the death of Emperor Yongyuan, the country fell into a situation of no owner.

But the most troublesome thing is that Emperor Yongyuan only favored the dead queen during his lifetime, and had no other concubines and no heirs.

As a result, the court and the central government instantly fell into a more delicate scene, and for a while, many vassal kings were a little nervous.

Just when the vassal king couldn't bear to rise up, the protector general, who had been accompanying the Yongyuan Emperor in his campaign, suddenly returned to the dynasty from the border with an army of 200,000.

After openly killing a vassal king in the court, the situation was stabilized, and then the cousin of the Yongyuan Emperor, Princess Haotian, was allowed to act as the ruler of the court.

With the protection of the country-protecting generals, even if the vassal kings of various places are opposed, they dare not be too arrogant.

After all, Jiang Yu, the general who protects the country, is on the battlefield, and he is the champion of the three armies, unparalleled in the world.

In this way, the princess gave birth to an heir three years later, and after the full moon, she tried her best to put her on the throne.

But this move directly angered the vassal kings, in any case, the vassal kings are all legitimate royal relatives, and it is not her turn to be the emperor.

So for a while, some powerful vassal kings directly rose up and tried to seek power and usurp the throne.

The country is once again in turmoil.

Jiang Yun went out again, leading 100,000 elite soldiers to suppress the vassal kings in various places.

For a time, the heads of the people killed were rolling, and the blood was flowing like a river.

It is said that on that day, even the moat was stained red with blood.

But it was this time that made the already unbearable Chu Yuan Dynasty even worse.

The previous vassal states all declared their independence, so they eyed the Chu Yuan Dynasty.

However, the Chu Yuan Dynasty could no longer send troops to fight, and could only let those vassal states become independent.

Su Chen saw that he slowly closed the book in his hand here, smacked his lips and couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, I didn't reincarnate in the body of this little emperor, then I really should be the king of the dead country."

Su Chen looked out the window and saw that the vegetation and flowers in the outside world had become unique to Jiangnan.

After these long journeys, we finally approached Jiangnan.

Su Chen got out of the carriage and sat down beside the small stone, taking a breath of fresh and humid air.

He said to the small stone beside him.

"Are we going to Jiangnan?"

Little Stone nodded, and then spoke.

"That's right, I should go to Jiangnan tomorrow afternoon."

"What do we say when we get to Jiangnan?"

Su Chen rubbed his chin and spoke.

"Don't be in a hurry first, of course you will appreciate the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan when you arrive in Jiangnan, what business is in a hurry."

Xiao Shi heard this, and then smiled at Su Chen.

"Don't say anything else, I heard that Jiangnan Ladies is a must, our brothers must take a look."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and coughed lightly.

"This ...... Don't talk about things that are not conducive to the harmony of husband and wife, and when you get to Master Jiangnan, I can ask you to find a girl to pinch your body, and don't do anything else. ”

Su Chen's words were righteous and stern.

And Xiao Shi laughed lewdly, deliberately lowered his voice and asked.

"Is it regular?"

"Who's going to be regular?"

"Ahahaha......"

The carriage moved at a steady pace amid the laughter and laughter of the two.

"Phew~"

Xiao Shi stopped the carriage in front of an inn, and Su Chen jumped off the carriage and stretched his waist fiercely.

"This is the last stop."

Su Chen moved his muscles and bones, and asked the small stone beside him who was also moving his muscles and bones.

"That's right, tomorrow is here."

"Second master, I think it's tiring to come from afar, there is only one inn in the whole hundred miles."

While the two were talking, a shopkeeper walked out of the inn, welcoming Su Chen and Xiaoshi with a warm face.

Su Chen nodded, and subconsciously looked up at the plaque.

"Hospitality to the inn."

"The two guest officers, please."

Su Chen followed the shopkeeper into the inn and then threw a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper.

"Give the best water and forage to the two horses."

"Okay, sir."

Su Chen and Xiao Shi entered the inn, which was not as lively as Su Chen thought.

There were only the two of them in the huge hall, and the shopkeeper was asleep in the recliner behind the counter.

"Shopkeeper, someone is here!"

The shopkeeper was very excited to wake up the sleeping shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper rubbed his eyes in a daze, and instantly became excited after seeing Su Chen and the others.

"Yo, two guest officers, please come inside."

When Su Chen saw the two of them like this, his face became strange for a while.

"Why are you so excited, you usually don't have guests?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, the shopkeeper was stunned on the spot, and then his eyes rolled and he spoke.

"Yes, how can you not, but it's not the off-season, and there aren't many guests, so we were a little excited."

Su Chen didn't say much when he heard this, just nodded.

"Give me ......"

As soon as Xiao Shi ordered, he was grabbed by Su Chen's hand, and then turned his head to the shopkeeper and said.

"Look at the arrangement, give us an upper room, and the meal will be delivered to our room."

"Huh? Shall we sleep in the same room? ”

Xiao Shi turned his head puzzled, and asked Su Chen.

And Su Chen just glanced at the former, and Xiao Shi immediately closed his mouth.

The shopkeeper and the two didn't notice anything abnormal, but they still showed Su Chen and the others with excitement on their faces.

"The two of you are objectively upstairs, please!"

Soon, Su Chen and the others followed the shopkeeper to a room.

When the shopkeeper closed the door and left, Xiao Shi immediately wanted to speak.

But he was stopped by Su Chen with a gesture.

Su Chen pricked up his ears and began to listen for any unusual movements around him.

After a long time, seeing Su Chen nodding slowly, Xiao Shi dared to speak.

"Young Master, is there something wrong with this shop?"

Su Chen poured himself a cup of tea, put it under his nose and sniffed it before taking a sip.

Speak.

"Well, it's probably not a small problem."

"You're saying it's possible that it's a black shop?"

Su Chen nodded, and then spoke.

"That's right, I'm not sure if it's a black shop, but this store is definitely wrong, we have met at least hundreds of carriages along the way, and he said that no one came in the off-season, do you think this is reasonable."

After Su Chen said this, Xiao Shi did have some thoughts, as if this was indeed the case.

But before the little stone could speak, Su Chen slapped the former's head.

"Let me ask you, are you taking the official road?"
