Li Youtian smiled and said, "Dad, then when will you go to the merchant to return this family business?" When you go to Jiuli Palace, you don't know when you will be able to come back, you can't let Miss Merchant wait all the time!"

Li Renyuan thought for a while and said, "I know that your kid is playing this idea! You don't have to worry about it, I won't quit this family business, and Miss Shang won't wait for you for too long! I'll find an opportunity to discuss with Master Shang and postpone this family business for two years." Two years later, when you succeed in your studies in Jiuli Palace, you will come back immediately to marry Miss Merchant!"

Li Youtian sighed and said, "Dad, why do you have to let me marry Miss Merchant? I have never met her, and I don't even know what she looks like, if Miss Merchant is an ugly monster, then my life will not be ruined in your hands!"

Li Renyuan laughed out loud, patted Li Youtian on the shoulder and said: "Tian'er, you can rest assured, Miss Merchant has seen it for her father, although she is not a country and a city, but she is also as beautiful as a flower, and it is by no means the ugly monster you said! Okay, this matter is settled, I will go to the merchant!"

Before Li Renyuan walked out of the main hall, Li Youtian stopped him and asked, "Dad, when exactly will Jiuli Palace recruit new apprentices?"

Li Renyuan thought for a while and replied: "In previous years, it was March 18, and this year should be this time!"

Li Youtian stood in place and thought about it, and said to himself: "March 18th, today is March 11th, and there are only seven days left before Jiuli Palace recruits new apprentices!"

The next morning, Shang Muyan sat in the council hall sulking, and the middle-aged woman on the side saw this and asked, "Master, why are you so angry?"

Shang Muyan snorted coldly and said loudly: "That kid Li Youtian dares to humiliate our merchant like this, it's really angry with me! Yuexin, go and get the marriage book between Yan'er and the Li family, I want to withdraw from their marriage to the Li family!" This middle-aged woman's name is Liu Yuexin, and she is Shang Yan's mother.

Hearing Shang Muyan's words, Liu Yuexin didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Master, what happened? It makes you want to quit this family business!"

At this time, I saw Shang Yan and Xiaohuan walking in from outside, and seeing Shang Muyan so angry, Shang Yan stepped forward and asked, "Dad, who made you so angry? I seem to have heard you talk about divorce just now, who wants to divorce?"

Shang Muyan snorted coldly and said, "Li Youtian's kid is too blind, this family business..."Shang Muyan didn't say any more, because he knew that his daughter was unwilling to marry into the Li family, if he said the matter of withdrawing from the marriage out of a momentary anger, then the things that followed would be even more difficult to handle!

Thinking of this, Shang Muyan calmed down the atmosphere in his heart, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm fine, and no one wants to withdraw from the marriage!" Yan'er, where have you been in the past few days, the wedding date is approaching, don't toss around these days!"

Shang Yan sat on the stool on the side angrily and said, "You obviously know that I don't want to marry the Li family, I don't want to marry Li Youtian, why do you have to force each other step by step, am I your own child!"

Before Shang Muyan could speak, Liu Yuexin on the side preemptively said: "Yan'er, what are you talking about, you are not my own, who is my own? ”

Shang Yan snorted coldly and said, "For my good, don't you know what kind of person Li Youtian is?

In fact, in Jiuli City, the Li family and the merchants contain each other, but they are mutually beneficial, if this balanced relationship is broken, then the entire Jiuli City will be in chaos! In the early years, in order to achieve this balance, the Li family and the merchants set up a baby parent.

As soon as Shang Yan's words fell, he saw a subordinate running in from outside, he first saluted, and then said: "Master, the city lord has brought General Ba Yuan to the mansion!"

Shang Muyan thought for a while and said, "Got it, you go down first!" After the words fell, Shang Muyan stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

After a while, I saw Li Youtian and General Ba Yuan striding towards this side under the leadership of his subordinates, Shang Muyan saw this, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still greeted him with a smile, and said, "The city lord is here, I don't know what is going on?"

Li Renyuan smiled and said: "Master Shang doesn't have to be polite, I came here today for two things, one is to accompany Tian'er, yesterday Tian'er was disrespectful, and I hope Master Shang will not take it to heart." The second is for Tian'er's marriage!"

Shang Muyan waved his hand, and while inviting Li Renyuan into the house, he said: "Don't worry, the city lord, how can I worry about my future son-in-law, seeing that the wedding date of Tian'er and Yan is approaching, the city lord can come to discuss this matter, and it is an honor for Shang to be someone!"

Li Renyuan came to the merchant's meeting hall, sat down, and said: "Yesterday, for some reason, the kid in Tian'er suddenly told me that he wanted to go to Jiuli Palace to learn art, and Master Shang knew that when Tian'er was very young, I wanted to send him to Jiuli Palace, but the kid was very stubborn, just didn't go." Now that he has taken the initiative to go to Jiuli Palace, I naturally can't stop him, so I came here today to discuss with Master Shang about the postponement of the marriage!"

After listening to Li Renyuan's words, Shang Muyan's face became a little dissatisfied, and said: "It's a good thing that Tian'er wants to go to Jiuli Palace to learn art, how can I have other ideas, it's just that the man should marry and the woman should get married, Tian'er doesn't know when he will be able to return from his studies, so we can't let our family Yan'er wait for him all the time!"

Li Renyuan waved his hand and said, "What Master Shang said is extremely true, therefore, I gave him a deadline, no matter what the result of Jiuli Palace is in two years, he will come back to complete the marriage!"

Shang Muyan nodded slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, then everything will be subject to the arrangement of the city lord!" Although Shang Muyan didn't say it, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he naturally understood in his heart that Li Youtian was deliberately delaying time. Two years later, who knows what it will be like day by day.

Li Renyuan was in trouble and didn't stay in the business for long. Looking at the back of Li Renyuan and the others leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of Shang Yan's mouth, and she secretly thought to herself: "Thank you for everything you have done for me, although you have not quit this family business, but two years is enough!"

Shang Muyan came to the armory alone, this is what he has to do every day, and at this time, there is a person standing outside the armory waiting for him, this is Duan Tianhong, the military manager of the merchant. Seeing Shang Muyan coming over, Duan Tianhong said respectfully, "Master, you're here!"

Shang Muyan nodded slightly, looked at Duan Tianhong and asked, "It seems that Duan Wuguan is waiting for me here, is there anything wrong?"

Duan Tianhong hesitated for a moment and said, "I really want to tell my lord something, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" Between words, Duan Tianhong's eyes kept looking at the expression on Shang Muyan's face.

Shang Muyan didn't hesitate and said, "If Duan Wuguan has something, you might as well tell me about it." ”

Now that Shang Muyan has spoken, Duan Tianhong has nothing to worry about, and said directly: "Master, do you know why Miss is unwilling to marry into the Li family?"

Shang Muyan smiled and said, "It's not a secret, who in Jiuli City doesn't know that Li Youtian's kid is romantic, if it weren't for the merchant, how could I agree to this family business!"

Duan Tianhong shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that the master doesn't know something, I think there is another reason why the young lady is unwilling to marry into the Li family!"

"Well, what's the reason?" Shang Muyan asked.

Duan Tianhong paused and replied: "When I found Miss outside the city gate this time, I found that she was with a strange man, and the two of them were still eye-catching, if my expectation is good, Miss must have taken a fancy to that person! Presumably Miss ran away from home this time for him, so..."

Shang Muyan interrupted Duan Tianhong's words and asked, "How can this be true, which guy who doesn't want to die dares to beat my dignified merchant lady's idea, do you know where that man came from?"

Duan Tianhong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Shang Muyan seemed to be a little angry, and continued: "You hurry up and find this person, investigate this matter clearly, and then bring that person to the merchant! Remember, don't let Shang Yan know about this!"

Duan Tianhong nodded heavily, and said, "Master, don't worry, I'll arrange it!"

When the words fell, Duan Tianhong was about to leave, but before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to Shang Muyan and said: "Master, when he was outside the city gate, the prince of Youtian once hooked up with that person, if my expectations are correct, the Li family's postponement of the marriage must be the ghost of that kid!"

Shang Muyan snorted coldly and said, "I want to see who is so bold as to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, Duan Wuguan, I will limit you to find this person within three days and bring him to the merchant!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Duan Tianhong's mouth, and he said, "Don't worry, master!" The words fell, and Duan Tianhong left!

Duan Tianhong is really a downright treacherous villain, obviously Luo Chen saved Shang Yan, he wanted to distort the facts and say that Luo Chen was a misconspiracy. Duan Tianhong brought out twenty warriors from the merchants, all of them were tall and large, armed with steel swords, and the formation was not small.

After these people came out of the business, they asked around about Luo Chen's whereabouts, but after looking for them, they didn't get any clues. At this time, Tianhong suddenly remembered that when he was at the city gate yesterday, Luo Chen and Shang Yan seemed to have come from the jungle not far outside the city, thinking of this, Duan Tianhong decided to go to the jungle outside the city to try his luck.

Duan Tianhong came to the city gate with twenty warriors in a menacing manner, and it happened that Li Youtian was about to leave the city at this time, he watched Duan Tianhong and his party go towards the jungle outside the city, and out of curiosity, he immediately followed.

Time passed little by little, and Li Youtianwei followed Duan Tianhong and the others to the depths of the jungle. Towards dusk, a breeze blew, and the weeds and flowers on the ground fluttered in the wind. Li Youtian seemed to be a little tired, he stood in place and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said secretly: "It's been a long time, what are these guys going to do?"

However, at this moment, I only heard the warrior beside Duan Tianhong say, "Duan Wuguan, look, there is a tree house in front!"

Looking in the direction the warrior was pointing, he saw a treehouse not far ahead, and on the fence outside the treehouse sat a man with a bird on his shoulder.

Li Youtian rubbed his eyes, looked at the people above the tree house and said, "That's not... Isn't it Luo Chen's brothers? Could it be that these people from the merchant want to take revenge? No, I have to find a way to inform Luo Chen quickly!" When the words fell, I saw Li Youtian slowly walking to the side, he wanted to bypass Duan Tianhong and the others and go to the tree house.
