The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in Beijing is the general association.

Here, a large number of chambers of commerce are gathered every day, including various prefectures, provinces, prefectures, and other capital-level cities.

There are also many merchants who come and go here.

Just when Zhou An walked in with his feet raised, there were already many people in and out in a hurry.

At this time, when Zhou An approached, many people immediately cast their eyes over.

Just for a moment, the originally lively hall fell into silence in an instant, and even if a needle dropped, it could be heard clearly.

Everyone's expressions were like wood, frozen on their faces.

No one spoke, but his eyes stayed on Zhou An for a long time, although there was no sound at this time, it was more than a sound.

Zhou An took the black jade by the hand, and after feeling everyone's gaze, he coughed lightly.

His cough was like throwing a boulder on the surface of a calm lake, instantly shocking the huge waves.

"Boom!"

The merchants boiled, and then, they all ran to Zhou An and surrounded Zhou An with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The noise is endless.

"You're Lord Zhou, you're finally here!"

"Hello Lord Zhou, I am Fu Er of Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, who is responsible for the silk trading of Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!"

"Lord Zhou, are you free now, I will go to the best restaurant in the capital immediately, order the top dishes, and invite the best girl."

……

Everyone, they say something different.

Some introduce themselves, some are full of compliments, and some are more direct, I want to ask Zhou An to see the girl's blowing, playing and singing, or try to pick up and pick up slowly.

Zhou An felt that he was a serious person and would not go under normal circumstances.

The main thing is that black jade is inseparable.

Of course, in the face of this kind of scene, Zhou An is also handy and responds one by one.

This is a busy job, but the crowd not only did not disperse, but intensified.

No way, when a place becomes lively, the people watching the excitement will hide.

Like now.

When many new businessmen saw it, they immediately came over, and when they learned that it was Zhou An, it was impossible to leave.

The situation gets complicated.

Just as the number of people was increasing, a footstep suddenly sounded on the second floor.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man slowly walked down from the second floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Zhou is tired of traveling, you better not bother, let Lord Zhou rest first." Middle-aged humane.

Zhou An followed the voice and looked at the appearance of the middle-aged man.

I saw that the middle-aged man was wearing a silk satin, although he was middle-aged, he was tall, and he had the momentum of a superior person.

Especially the middle-aged man's right hand, which is holding a jade ruyi, is gently rubbing.

Jade Ruyi is exquisitely clear, even if you are a layman, you can see that this is a priceless thing.

Zhou An narrowed his eyes and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that among the merchants, there are such masters." ”

Merchants are also a kind of miscellaneous doors.

This profession is not good at combat, but in some ways, it has unparalleled talent.

They are clever in their words, and their words can influence the judgment and consciousness of others.

So at some point, their perks will work wonders.

Zhou An could feel that this middle-aged businessman was very strong, although he might not be good at fighting, but this realm was extremely high.

After the middle-aged businessman said this, the businessmen who were originally noisy, as if they had been ordered, actually got out of the way, and then did not dare to stay for a moment, and quickly did their own thing.

Truth be told, here, every businessman is the dominant one.

Even the Mengjiang River in Fenglin Prefecture is mediocre here.

After all, this is the capital that surpasses all Beijing-level cities, and its strength, power, and power are intricate and top-notch.

When all the merchants retreated, the middle-aged merchant finally walked down the stairs and spoke to Zhou An.

"In the lower Han won, he is the president of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and I have met Lord Zhou." Han Won said politely.

President!

These three words alone are enough to see the weight.

This is the real leader, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou An arched his hand and said: "I have met President Han, Zhou came this time to discuss something with President Han." ”

Han Yuan nodded, then turned to the side and said, "Let's go to the second floor." ”

As he spoke, Han Yuan was also looking at Zhou An.

This is the first time he has met Zhou An, but he has been friends for a long time.

At the beginning, it was he who issued the order to let everyone in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce treat Zhou An politely.

In fact, at that time, especially when Zhou An came out of Anding County, there was no need for a behemoth like the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to be like this.

However, as the president of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, Han Won has amazing courage.

Businessmen, to be able to invest.

Han Won invested in Zhou An because he believed that Zhou An would perform more amazingly.

Investment is risky, and Han Yuan feels that this risk is not a big problem for the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, Zhou An brought too many surprises.

So much so that the won is getting happier and happier.

He felt that he had made the right investment.

This fledgling young man, in an almost barbaric way, has grown rapidly to the present day.

Now, the entire Great Chu Kingdom Tianjiao has been crushed by Zhou An.

The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is also rising.

Han Won was very happy, so today Zhou An came to visit, and he personally greeted him.

"Someone, go prepare tea."

Han Yuan said a word, and went up to the second floor with Zhou An.

The layout of the second floor and the first floor is similar, but the materials used are a grade higher.

And there are fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor.

Han Yuan led Zhou An and Heiyu to a spacious room.

In this room, the layout is extremely exquisite, and it is specially used by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to receive distinguished guests.

At this time, the tea has already been brewed first.

Han Yuan poured tea for Zhou An, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, please use tea, this is the best tea in the Great Chu Kingdom, and the annual output is limited." ”

Zhou An nodded, took a sip, and then put down the teacup: "It is indeed good tea." ”

To be honest, Zhou An didn't have much research on things like tea.

In his opinion, no matter how expensive tea is, it is all a taste.

Han Yuan smiled: "Lord Zhou came here this time, is there something to discuss?" ”

As the president of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, Han Won has a characteristic, that is, he doesn't like to engage in twists and turns.

He's always liked to get straight to the point.

Zhou An nodded and said, "I came this time to ask, when will the third prince enter Beijing?" ”

Among the three princes of the Great Chu State, except for the second prince, who has lived in the capital for a long time, the other two princes will not stay for long.

The eldest prince guarded the border pass, and the third prince circulated in the various chambers of commerce of the Great Chu State to make money for the Great Chu State.

Therefore, on the emperor's birthday, the other two princes also need to come slowly.

Han Yuan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "As far as I know, the third prince has entered the capital this morning, and he has also gone to find Lord Zhou, but Lord Zhou has not been there. ”

Hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin.

This morning, he went straight to the palace.

first met Gonggong Wei, and then went to the National Teacher's Mansion and chatted with the National Teacher.

Now here is the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce again.

So I wasn't at home the whole time.

The third prince pounced, but it was normal.

"Staying at the palace?" Zhou An took another sip of tea to quench his thirst.

Han Yuan nodded and said, "Do you need me to send a message to the third prince?" ”

Since the three princes are in charge of the various chambers of commerce, the won naturally has a way to connect.

Zhou An said: "Then bother to send a message, just say that I am waiting for the third prince here." ”

He just came out of the palace and didn't want to go again.

Besides, without that little eunuch to guide the way, you may not be able to get in.

So it's the same to send a message directly and let the third prince come out.

Han Yuan knew that if Zhou An could find this place, there must be something urgent.

He didn't hesitate, got up, and walked outside.

It took about a stick of incense before the won came back from outside.

"Lord Zhou waited patiently for a moment, I have already sent the news, and the third prince said to come over immediately." Han Won said.

Zhou An didn't ask how it was delivered, after all, this is someone else's method.

All he has to do now is be patient.

After the third prince came, he went to clean up the second prince.

Han Yuan refilled Zhou An with another cup of tea.

The two chatted and drank tea at the same time.

After about another stick of incense, the third prince walked in from outside.

"Zhou An, long time no see." The third prince laughed.

It's still the same as before, and it hasn't changed much.

Yang Jianxin held the iron sword and silently followed behind the three princes.

Recently, the three princes can be described as complacent.

And all of this comes from Zhou An.

There is no other reason, the third prince has received too much support because of Zhou An.

The first to bear the brunt is the healer of the Great Chu State.

Don't look at the decline of the Great Chu National Doctor, but when they come together, it is a very strong force.

Because Zhou An was the object of worship of all the doctors in the Great Chu Kingdom, the three princes naturally got a lot of benefits from it.

Moreover, Zhou An's reputation in the rivers and lakes is now getting bigger and bigger, which also makes the three princes quite profitable.

The most intuitive manifestation is that his brother, who has lived in the capital for a long time, has increased the number of tantrums every day.

Therefore, the third prince came this time, in addition to emotion, he was more excited.

It's impossible not to get excited, because the benefits are real.

Zhou An smiled: "It's been a long time. ”

To be honest, the image that the third prince gave him was actually not bad.

There is no prince's shelf, on the contrary, it is relatively approachable.

To put it bluntly, it's very compelling.

"You're here this time, don't go back yet, I'll give you the best banquet, let's get drunk." The third prince waved his hand.

Next to him, Yang Jianxin reminded him.

"Your Highness, your alcohol consumption is not good, you can't get drunk all night, at most half an hour."

The Third Prince: "......"

His personal guard is good at everything, but he loves to tear down the stage.

Especially at times like these.

After Yang Jianxin finished speaking, he looked at his nose and nose, as if what he said just now was not what he said.

Seeing this, Zhou An shook his head and said, "It's still early, there will be time to eat and drink in the future, I came this time because I have something important to talk to the third prince." ”

When he finished saying this, Han Won suddenly stood up.

"If a few people have something, just talk first, and I'll go out first."

To be a man, you have to force the numbers.

When Zhou An said the important word, Han Yuan knew that the rest of the words were not suitable for him to listen to.

Listen less, live longer.

Yang Jianxin also coughed: "I also went out in the next." ”

He's just a guard, there's no need to listen too much, it's annoying to listen too much.

Soon, the people in the room were gone.

The third prince asked curiously: "Zhou An, what is so important, if we can't make trouble, we should beat up my angry brother?" ”

In the second half of the sentence, the three princes were joking, and the atmosphere was lively.

Who knew that after this sentence came out, Zhou An actually nodded and replied with certainty.

"Yes."

The third prince was stunned, his hand pouring tea froze, and the whole person was in a state of enlightenment, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Zhou An, you just said that we are going to beat the second child?" The third prince was unsure, and asked again.

"That's right, go now." Zhou Andao.

The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched slightly, and then he regained his composure and fell into deep thought.

He couldn't figure out Zhou An's thoughts.

That's right, he doesn't have the frame of a prince, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

The three princes of the Great Chu State are actually not stupid.

Otherwise, the three princes would not have managed all the chambers of commerce in the Great Chu Kingdom in an orderly manner.

ran to beat the second prince recklessly, this is inevitable...... Great!

If nothing else, if you really do this, the majesty of the second prince will drop a notch.

After the decline, the momentum of the second prince will also decline, which is a chain reaction.

"How?" The third prince asked.

Zhou An said slowly: "It's very simple, find the second prince, cause conflicts, and then fight, I originally supported the third prince, and kicked two feet along the way, isn't that a matter of course?" ”

When the third prince heard this, he was really thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

In fact, the real battle between the princes is so unpretentious.

If it can be simple, it will never go around the corner.

Directly beating him up, he can show his ability, and he can also belittle the opponent's ability, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

The third prince asked, "Zhou An, you are so anxious, has the second child offended you?" ”

Zhou An didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "He actually wants to get Yu Hang, I can't bear it." ”

Zhou An also thought about this sentence for a long time before saying it.

He and the Third Prince hadn't actually met a few times, and suddenly proposed this method, if there was no good reason, the Third Prince would probably not do it.

Now that there is a reason, then the result is self-evident.

This is Zhou An's method.

Don't you want to turn your identity into a fight between fellow disciples, so that I can't make a move?

Yes.

Then I'll transform it again and turn it into a battle between princes.

As a supporter of the three princes, it is only natural that I beat the second prince by mistake in order to protect the three princes when the princes were fighting.

You can't make a move.

To make a move is to intervene in the dispute between the princes.

When Zhou An was thinking so, the third prince finally gave an answer.

"him! Put up with him for a long time! The third prince clenched his fists.

The eldest brother has no quarrel with the world, like a man who has entered the time of a sage.

This second brother is the only one who obstructs himself in every way, and this time he has to vent his anger and suppress it by the way.

Of course, the third prince also took into account a problem.

"The second child is estimated to have masters around him, can you handle it?" The third prince asked.

As a prince, there are naturally many people who protect him, and there are many masters.

The third prince was worried that he would not be able to do it.

After all, there are definitely not as many masters on his side as the second prince.

Zhou An glanced at the third prince and said, "Haven't Your Highness heard the recent legends on the rivers and lakes?" ”

The third prince was slightly stunned, and then asked: "I have been traveling overnight recently, and I really don't have time to understand, what is the legend?" ”

Zhou An said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I killed two psychic realms along the way, tied a lot of Tianjiao to the carriage, and dragged it all the way to the capital." ”

The Third Prince: "......"

"Oh, by the way, I don't know if the second prince has a psychic realm over there that can give me practice, after all, Lao Zhao is not here, and I can't find anyone to practice." Zhou An sighed, quite regretful.

Lao Zhao, as a spirit blacksmith, is powerful, but unfortunately, Zhou An can't find a chance.

When the third prince heard this, he took a deep breath and stood up silently: "Just tonight, every night, the second child has to go back to the palace, let's go to create some contradictions on the way." ”

He decided, do it!

Zhou An narrowed his eyes and nodded.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

——

Prime Minister's Office.

The second prince finished a day's course and was on his way back to the palace at this time.

Although he is now a prince, he comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to listen to lectures and study.

For no other reason, it's a daily necessity.

Even as a prince, you have to listen to the teachings every day.

At this time, on the way back to the palace, there were not only the second princes, but also many guards around them.

The second prince walked while thinking about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He met Yu Hang.

The one who was regarded as a closed disciple by the teacher.

From the moment he saw Yu Hang, there was a fire burning in his heart.

He knew that this fire was called jealousy.

Not only from Zhou An, but also from Yu Hang himself.

This Yu Hang, how can he become a closed disciple, but he, a dignified son, can only be treated as a registered disciple.

He was not convinced.

Therefore, he wants to rectify Yuhang.

Now, all his subordinates have collected a lot of Yu Hang's affairs.

Including Yu Hang's life, as well as what he did when he was the governor of Tiancheng Mansion.

It's a pity that Yu Hang didn't find any flaws.

Amagifu is well run without the slightest problem.

The second prince felt that he had to do something elsewhere to frustrate Yu Hang, which made Zhou An very uncomfortable by the way.

Of course, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.

On the way back, it was late.

It was dark, and it was even colder at night.

The second prince walked and walked, and suddenly, he stopped.

Immediately after, he was ahead and spotted a man.

This person was dressed in brocade clothes and looked extraordinary.

At this time, the second prince stopped and looked at the young man standing in front of him.

"Third child, what are you doing?"

He was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why the third prince came.

Because since he came to the capital, the third prince has never met him, as if he is deliberately avoiding him.

At this moment, the third prince suddenly appeared, and the second prince didn't understand what it meant.

The third prince smiled: "Second brother, that's the case, recently you have been telling your father that there are a lot of businessmen in my management and I need someone to assist, right?" ”

The second prince frowned: "What's the matter, I'm just stating the facts." ”

The third prince shook his head and said, "That's good, since that's the case, it's easy to do tonight." ”

"What do you want?" The second prince sneered.

He could see that the third child was deliberately trying to stop him, and the purpose was definitely impure.

The third prince smiled: "It's very simple, I came here specifically to beat the second brother." ”

When the words fell, the second prince was directly stunned.

He really didn't expect that the third prince would do this.

Subsequently, the second prince figured out the crux of the problem.

"I see, the easiest way is to make me lose the biggest face, third child, your trick is really useful, but...... Have you forgotten, I have been operating in this capital for many years, and the people under my hands are not simple. The second prince clapped his hands.

As the second prince clapped his hands, the next moment, more than a dozen people walked out of the shadows.

The worst of these people are in the innate realm, and the strong ones even reach the psychic realm.

"Third child, I don't bother to use your method, because I'm a scholar, but if you use this method, I don't mind going up."

The second prince said lightly: "Look, tonight, the third prince came to take the initiative to find trouble, and then I beat him back, your reputation will go down, and the people who support you will also have a lot of ideas." ”

Saying that, these dozen people are coming slowly.

Seeing this, the three princes did not say a word, but were very calm.

This state made the second prince wonder.

He couldn't understand why the third child was so calm.

But the matter has come to this, and the second prince didn't think much about it.

Just then, a footstep suddenly sounded.

The second prince looked at the source of the voice and saw Zhou An walking out of the darkness with the black jade.

He was slightly stunned, and combined with the calmness of the third prince at this time, he quickly thought of the reason.

"I see, you have a backer." The second prince narrowed his eyes.

The third prince smiled: "It's not easy, for so many years, I have been pressed by the second brother, and today I finally have the opportunity to be ashamed." ”

He felt refreshed, because tonight, his chance had come.

The second prince sneered, looked at Zhou An, and said, "Zhou An, have you decided to completely tear your face with me?" ”

Zhou An nodded affirmatively and said, "From the time you wanted to attack Yu Hang, I had already made a plan. ”

The second prince said: "It seems that you are well-informed enough, I know what you think, I am indeed not your opponent, but you think too simply." ”

"In this capital, there are so many masters and so on, you can't do too much."

The implication of these words is that there are many masters of the Suppression Division in secret, and they will not let the second prince be threatened in this dark night.

Zhou An nodded.

In fact, it is.

With the addition of Qianli Purpose, Zhou An could feel that there were many people around him secretly observing.

These people are all members of the town's secret division in the capital, and there is no shortage of masters.

After all, it is the capital, even if it is not the palace, there are many people guarding it.

"And what do you want to do?" The second prince suddenly said: "Now, I challenge the third child, and all my subordinates are not allowed to move." ”

As the second prince finished saying this, the second prince's guard stopped.

Zhou An narrowed his eyes: "The second prince's move is very high. ”

It's really high, that's not to say.

The second prince knew that his guards were not Zhou An's opponents, so he simply didn't let the guards do it, but changed the role to that between him and the third prince.

In this way, it becomes a battle between the two.

If Zhou An intervenes, then it is not appropriate to be reasonable.

But......

It's just that if that's the case, Zhou An feels that it's not enough.

Zhou An looked at the three princes next to him.

The third prince understood: "I accept the challenge of the second brother." ”

The second prince was stunned, he couldn't understand why the third prince would accept the challenge.

Because the strength of the third child is not strong.

The combat effectiveness of the third child, compared with himself as a scholar, is really far behind.

Why accept?

Although the second prince couldn't figure it out, he was already ready to send it at this time.

The challenge was sent by himself, and now the other party has accepted it.

If you are afraid to move forward, then you will be slapping yourself in the face.

Thinking of this, the second prince shook his right hand, and the brush had already appeared.

In the second prince's body, there was a breath of a scholar who was constantly circulating, and it suddenly pressed over like a mountain.

The third prince felt the breath of the second prince at this time, and his face turned a little pale.

His strength is still far worse than that of the second prince.

After all, the second prince has been studying with the national teacher all the year round, even if he is just a registered disciple, it is not comparable to him.

But at this time, the three princes, even if they were pale, did not flinch.

There was Zhou An standing behind him, flinching a fart.

"Third child, I'll give you a chance, you make a move first, otherwise you won't even have a chance to make a move." The second prince said slowly.

The members of the Town Trick Division who were hiding in the shadows also saw this scene.

But they didn't show up.

As the second prince said, this is a royal dispute, and they can't control it.

When the third prince heard this, he said palely: "No need, even if you come, second brother, I won't retreat half a step today." ”

The second prince smiled and said no more.

Give him a decent chance, but he doesn't use it, then he can't blame himself.

Thinking of this, the second prince lifted the brush and wrote in the air.

The next moment, a town word emerged and crushed towards the three princes.

The pen of a scholar can paint mountains and rivers, and can destroy gold and jade.

At this moment, through the second prince's use, the powerful aura made the third prince's breath stagnate.

But the third prince didn't make any moves, and he didn't even resist.

When the second prince saw this scene, he was slightly shocked.

He couldn't understand why the third child would remain motionless.

But at this moment, the text has been formed, and there is no way back for me.

"Then make you a little worse." The second prince sneered.

Just when the words were about to fall on the third prince, Zhou An, who had not moved, moved.

Zhou An performed the dragon step, and he didn't see any movement from him, and he had already come to stand in front of the third prince.

The word town fell into Zhou An's chest without hesitation, like a mud cow entering the sea, without the slightest movement.

But this situation did not last long, and the next moment, Zhou An performed a thousand scrolls.

A brand-new town character appeared, and at a faster speed, he galloped towards the second prince.

The speed was so fast that no one present reacted.

The next moment, the second prince only felt that his eyes were dark, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Zhou An with a shocked face.

"You dare to do it!" The second prince gritted his teeth.

In the darkness of the night, several members of the Townsman Division appeared.

Before they could speak, Zhou An spoke.

"The third prince is in danger, and it is normal for me to protect it."

As the words fell, the corners of the mouths of the members of the Town Trick Division who appeared twitched.

They looked at each other and walked away again.

This is indeed normal.

Though...... It's not normal either.

However, they couldn't find a flaw!

When the second prince heard Zhou An say this, he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood: "You, shameless!" ”

To tell the truth, this operation is really stuck in the laws of the Great Chu State.

You are the prince dispute, but the scene just now endangered the lives of the three princes, and it is normal for me, as a supporter of the three princes, to protect it.

You can also protect it.

It's a big deal that when I made a move, I didn't have a serious severity, and I accidentally injured someone on your side.

Anyone who fights a lot knows that sometimes you can't retract your strength, and it's normal.

Zhou An smiled and said, "Second prince, I'm really sorry, I have to protect the third prince." ”

The third prince also said beside him: "Second brother, I didn't expect me to be so powerless, I'm really sorry." ”

The second prince was already furious, and when he heard the two singing and harmonizing, he was even more angry.

Fortunately, as a scholar, I still have cultivation at this time.

He took a deep breath and didn't say anything, just ready to continue leaving.

There is no way, it is impossible to fight.

Zhou An was beside him, waiting to take advantage of the loophole.

If you continue to fight, you will be the one who suffers.

Now let's go first, and then slowly settle the score.

The second prince turned around, intending to bypass.

But if you want to leave, you have to see what Zhou An means.

Zhou An came here this time, not just for this one.

He knows a thing.

If the other party is not convinced, then give a beating.

If you don't accept one beating, then hit twice.

Until you are convinced.

That's the easiest way to do it, and it's the most effective way to do it.

So at this time, the second prince wants to leave, which is impossible.

At the moment when the second prince turned around, Zhou An spoke.

"The second prince is slow."

When the second prince heard this, he turned around again, looked at Zhou An with a cold gaze, and said, "Zhou An, now that I haven't made a move, do you still want to continue to make a move?" Is this really the capital where you can do whatever you want? ”

At this time, the second prince was still quite arrogant.

Zhou An touched his chin and felt that it was still the reason why he hadn't played enough.

He now thought about why the emperor had made a deal with him.

In many dynasties, the first generation was fierce, and the second generation began to pull the crotch.

Zhou An has never seen the emperor, but the performance of these two princes can only be regarded as decent, not up to standard.

If it were him, he would definitely think of a better way, instead of using the laws of the Great Chu State again and again to check and balance.

Because it will make others think that you are always under the protection of your father.

When the second prince saw that Zhou An didn't speak, he thought that Zhou An wouldn't do anything, and was about to leave.

But at this time, Zhou An turned his head, looked at the three princes on the side, and made a look.

The third prince was still in a very cool state at this time.

That's really cool.

Especially seeing the second prince injured, it was so cool that he flew up.

He felt that going to Zhou An was the most correct decision he had made.

Seeing Zhou An's eyes at this time, the third prince understood.

I saw the third prince cough and speak slowly.

"I challenged the second brother, I don't know if the second brother will accept it?"
