There are nine famous cities in the world, namely Yacheng and Jiangcheng in Northern Liao, Yuncheng, Chuncheng, Yuxi, and Lingcheng in Southern Xia, as well as Shangjing, Lincheng, the national capital of Daliang and Haicheng at the junction of Daliang and Southern Xia. The customs of the nine famous cities are different, among which the three major cities are the richest, and this forest city is one of them.

Lincheng stands in the center of the beam, is to the beam of the country in all directions of the business through, but where the businessman pursues the shortest route, it must pass through the city, plus the city of the city has been established for a hundred years, and the founding years of the beam are almost approximate, so it is also known as "the first city of the beam". Just by listening to the name, you can know that if the trees in this forest city are not lush and forested, it is the family surname Lin who rules the city.

Lin Cheng belongs to the latter group. The people who established Lincheng, originally a long-term vision of the Lin surname in Beijing, after the opening of the Great Liang, the family moved to Lincheng, the use of the geographical advantages here to set up many business routes, but where the past businessmen are bound to give Lincheng "on the road gold", very important to occupy the city for the king's meaning, but the founding of the Liang Dynasty for several generations are internal and external troubles, the royal family is anxious to deal with the political struggle, then turn a blind eye to the move of Lincheng, nearly a hundred years have passed without incident.

It is rumored that when the emperor was in power, he ordered the collection of trade roads, changed to official roads, and the official transportation and trading houses were exempted from the "upper road gold". Lin Cheng was naturally very reluctant, thinking that this was the royal family cutting off their financial routes, so he closed the city for three days to protest against the royal family.

In those three days, the direct business transportation of the entire beam was blocked, and the merchant dart bureau had to go far away, which caused a lot of complaints for a while.

The royal family sent someone to Lincheng to negotiate, and finally Lincheng agreed to send the business road out, but the condition put forward was that the royal family could no longer meddle in Lincheng's affairs, and the Ming royal family could not enter Lincheng, and the gold and silver that Lincheng handed over to the treasury every year were also halved......

But Lin Cheng is famous for refining incense, and for a hundred years, the palace fragrance has been refined for the royal family, and this agreement must come down, and the royal family will no longer be able to send spices to Lin Cheng as before, the royal family first found several incense refining families, but in the end they found that they were not as good as Lin Cheng, so in the following decades, the royal family will attract the dart game of the rivers and lakes, and they will send the raw materials for refining incense to Lin Cheng...... And since Lin Cheng made the agreement, he did not demolish the Imperial Incense Mansion that originally made incense for the royal family, and he may also turn a blind eye to this, after all, who would refuse a batch of money-making big deals?

After listening to Yu Ruyi's calm analysis, Yu Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "Then why is the sixth prince still worried that the sect leader can't enter Lin City?" ”

Yu Ruyi exhaled helplessly, "Because she was out of the customs two years ago." ”

"She? Who? Who is she? Yu Feng continued to ask.

Yu Ruyi's eyes focused on the steaming mist of hot tea, and gradually dissipated, and he looked for information about the person in his memory: "The fourth master of the beam, Lin Fan is flawed." Lin Hong, the wife of the previous generation of city lord Lin Cheng, back then, was the husband and wife who made that agreement with the emperor, and Lin Hong died of a sudden illness shortly after the agreement was made, Lin Fan thought that the royal family used some means, so he swore that he was inseparable from the Ming royal family, she was considered powerful in the previous generation, and she was in retreat for 20 years, and after leaving the customs, she directly became the top of the rivers and lakes, and became the fourth! Just now I said, although the Lincheng Imperial Incense Mansion is still refining incense for the royal family, I think it may be under her unknowing...... "Yu Ruyi's voice is getting quieter and quieter.

Yu Feng stood up suddenly, his brows furrowed, "Then you still let the sect leader go!" ”

Yu Ruyi spread her hands, "She herself is the Yin family, and I can't control it." She is still loyal to the royal family in her bones. If Emperor Chongwen asks me to enter the palace that day to discuss the conditions, I will ask him to give me all the palace to take this job. But what about her? She just sent it away without thinking about what she wanted...... Feelings are in the blood, and they can't be changed. ”

Yu Feng's concern was very strange, "Sixth son, want to be the emperor?" ”

Yu Ruyi was puzzled, "When did I say it?" I just want the palace. ”

"You don't want to be the emperor, what do you want the palace for?"

Yu Ruyi shrugged her shoulders, hugged her chest and raised her eyebrows to look at Yu Feng, "I just think it's very magnificent to live in the palace." Soon he got down to business, "Besides, I also know that she agreed to go to the dart with Chi Linjing and the young master of the Nie family this time, and she also wanted to try the depth and truth of the regent of Southern Xia." He came to Daliang for Qilin Wood, but it stands to reason," Yu Ruyi paused and frowned slightly, "He shouldn't want to interfere in Daliang's internal affairs." ”

Yu Feng sat down again, "How do you say this?" ”

Yu Ruyi touched her chin, "This involves a secret story, and not many people know about it." He didn't ignore Yu Feng's increasingly curious eyes, and Yu Ruyi coughed lightly, "In short, you know that he has a lot to do with the Great Liang Imperial Family." ”

Yu Feng's eyes darkened suddenly, "Oh." But no matter what, he is also the regent of Southern Xia. ”

Yu Ruyi pondered for a moment, "I once heard Master say that Chi Linjing, the regent of Southern Xia, is a person who values his style and bones very much. I saw him that day, and he really didn't look like the kind of person who likes to fight for power. ”

Yu Feng's topic jumped again, "Will the sect leader and Yan Flail be okay with them?" ”

Yu Ruyi shook her head, "I don't know, we have been in Jiangnan for many years, and we can be regarded as having seen all those characters with heads and faces, and there were many people who came to fight with Yin Luo at that time, except for her who was tired and didn't fight, I haven't seen her lose, when the second brother was not injured, he learned the martial arts of the old man Huang Chan, and Yin Luo could barely make a draw......

Yu Feng frowned, "It's true that the second son is the first in Jiangnan, but what kind of Lin fan is flawed, he is the fourth in the beam, how can he be better than the second son, right?" ”

Yu Ruyi nodded, "Of course, she can beat the second son to lie down." ”

"How can you grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige?"

"I'm just telling you the truth."

"Sixth son, you should think of a way......"

"Why didn't I see you worry so much about Yin Luo before?"

Yu Feng's voice raised, "I'm worried about her?" I'm worried about my shackles! Yan is so real, what if it is hard? ”

Yu Ruyi almost squirted out a sip of tea, but he swallowed it smoothly, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much." After he recovered, his eyes deepened a little, "The regent of Southern Xia will not wait until they are all dead to make a move." ”

"Why do you trust him so much?"

Yu Ruyi pretended to take out the jade scroll in his sleeve in a deep voice, shook it in front of Yu Feng and then took it back, he smiled mysteriously at Yu Feng, and then slowly replied: "Intuition." ”

“……”

Shangjing, Prime Minister Du Cheng's Mansion.

The eldest son, Du Kang, was leisurely teasing the parrot in the wooden cage under the hall, and the secret guard who had been sent out to investigate the news walked behind him and reported: "The eldest prince, we went to investigate according to the news given by the Fourth Highness, and sure enough, we found that Yin Luo took a guard to secretly go to Tingxian Building, and not long after, three carriages drove out of Tingxian Building, and it was Yin Luo's female guards who drove the first carriage, and now they are on the official road to Lin Cheng, do we have to take action?" ”

Du Kang turned his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Mingqi is here, you want to use us to borrow a knife to kill people." ”

"Then ......," the guard couldn't tell what he meant.

Du Kang laughed, "That's what he thought." After all, the existence of this Yin Mansion is also very disadvantageous to me. ”

"Where do we do it?"

Du Kang looked at the noon sun and rubbed his fingertips, "If you estimate it like this, in the evening, they will be able to go to the post station of Jingyang Official Road, you go there first to ambush and kill them by surprise." ”

"I heard that the young master of the Xianlou Nie family seems to have gone with him, to kill or not to kill?"

"Kill. Kill them all, and leave not a single one behind. There was ruthlessness in Du Kang's eyes, "I heard, Yin Luo also has a younger brother?" How come I don't remember that Yin Jielin had a son? ”

"My subordinates don't know. The two of them were already together on the day they entered Beijing...... What does the eldest prince mean? ”

"Send someone to the Yin Mansion at night and kill him," Du Kang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "and then rummaged through the things in the Yin Mansion and blamed those who wanted to find things." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will give orders." The Dark Guard said that he was about to retire.

"Be careful, don't leave any clues, they have something to do with Aetès." Du Kang admonished again.

After the dark guard left, Du Kang clenched his fist.

The Yin family, the prime minister's mansion that has been stretched for generations? The descendants of the Yin family, who have been dead for so many years, have come back?

This time, he will make the Yin family die and not die again!

Three carriages kept running on the official road in Jingyang, all the way to the south.

Yan Flails looked at the person standing on the official road not far away, frowned unconsciously, and slowed down the carriage.

Yin Luo in the car spoke up first, "Yan Flails, what's going on?" ”

"There's someone blocking the way." Yan Flails stopped the carriage.

Yin Luo, Chi Ye, and Nie Renxi each glanced at each other, and the three of them were a little puzzled. Nie Renxi moved his body and approached Chi Ye.

"Who's here to kill?" Nie Renxi asked Yan Flails.

Yan Fang looked at the person in front of him vigilantly, "Why don't you come out and see it yourself?" ”

Nie Renxi frowned, and before he could answer, everyone heard an old male voice in front of the carriage, "The old man knows that there is a distinguished guest sitting in the carriage." After saying that, there was no follow-up.

Yin Luo frowned, looked at Chi Ye, and asked in a low voice, "Looking for you?" ”

Chi Ye squinted his eyes and asked Yan outside the car, "Miss Yan, what is he wearing?" What weapons were taken? ”

Yan Flails looked at him from top to bottom, and said: "A dark robe, embroidered with ripples, gray and white hair, tied with green hairpins, small eyes, moles at the end of the eyebrows, carrying a long knife, and carved handles. ”

Chi Ye frowned again after listening to the narration, his matter of coming to Daliang from Nanxia was confidential, and it was impossible for any other force in the palace to know this news, and after listening to Yan Ye's description, he became more and more sure that he definitely didn't know the old man in front of the carriage.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yin Luo and shook his head.

Yin Luo looked at Nie Renxi, and Nie Renxi hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "I haven't messed with this person either." ”

The scene was quiet for a moment, and Yin Luo spoke up and asked, "Your Excellency came here with a knife, what do you intend to do?" ”

"Take your life!" After the old man finished answering this sentence, he pulled out the knife behind him with his backhand and stabbed straight into the carriage-
