The Dragon War Empire dominates the northern part of the Eastern Continent. The so-called southern counties of the empire refer to the counties near the Xuanshou Mountain Ridge.
Qing Zizhu had never heard of the three counties in the south of the empire that Qingfeng mentioned, but he vaguely remembered the name of Fontaine County.
Isn't that the territory of Duke Xueying's Mansion
Qing Zizhu immediately reflected that the southernmost counties and towns of the empire referred to Fengdan County, Bailu County, and Xuanshoushan Town - Wusheng Town, which were close to the small country Shangguo.
Except for Wusheng Town, which is slightly better because of the mercenary union stationed there, the other two are well-known dilapidated counties in the empire. None of the imperial gold coins were asked to come.
There is only one possibility to avoid taxation from the iron roosters of the household department. The local people must be poor and can't even pay a dime.
"Father, why don't you take an empty boat and go around that area directly. I heard that the counties in the south are very poor and have a lot of beasts year after year." Qing Zizhu didn't dare to let go of the words, he actually wanted to say Unfortunately, only a fool would walk across the southern counties.
Qingfeng's original idea was the same as Qing Zizhu's. Considering that the Xuanshou Mountain Range was not peaceful these years, he hired a commercial empty ship and planned to cross the three southern counties directly, but when he crossed the Xuanshou Mountain Range, While flying over Fontaine, he was attracted by a spectacle.
In fact, it's not just Qingfeng. Anyone who takes an empty ship from the north of the empire to the Risong Federation in the south, whether it's a caravan or a civilian tourist empty ship, or an empty beast, can't help but stop when they pass over Fontaine County. Xuanzhen gathered around to watch the "giant dragon" entrenched in the sky of Fontaine County.
The dragon-shaped building is lifelike, just like a giant dragon coming into the world.
Below the giant dragon is a piece of Yunluo Lake that is like a pearl, bathed in water.
In front of the lake is a keeled Great Wall covered in snow. To the north of the Great Wall is the picturesque Five Sacred Mountains, and to the south of the Great Wall are newly plowed fields with green crops.
A large number of skilled craftsmen who immigrated to the local area, the unique flavor of wine and roasted pigs, the unique blue snow candles on the mainland, and the few mysterious crystal cannons installed on the keel Great Wall, no matter what they were, they all shocked Qingfeng. is incomparable.
"Father, do you mean that without knowing it, in the eyes of the people in the imperial capital, the declining duke's mansion has already made a fortune in the three southern counties of the empire?" Thought the other party was joking.
It is not difficult to explain why the Duke's Mansion has such a huge amount of wealth and secretly placed a huge bet of two million.
It is not difficult to explain why a seemingly inconspicuous seventh-order profound beast has a summoning sacred weapon hidden in its body.
Qing Zizhu didn't expect that he would fall into the trap of the Duke's Mansion. He was very unwilling and focused on how to take revenge.
"And I also found out that when I was in Wusheng Town, the young master of the Duke's Mansion and your mother Chixi formed a mercenary team. This time, not long after Chixi came back, the Duke's Mansion and Yan Yue There was a conflict in the chamber of commerce, and I think it was because of your mother." Qingfeng is an old businessman, and he is many times deeper than Qingzizhu, who was just fledgling. perhaps.
"Bitch, big and small," Qing Zizhu snorted coldly, "Father, are we going to let the Duke's mansion bully us?"
"Huh, dreaming. Although the three southern counties have gradually become prosperous and powerful, they are still far away from the emperor. It will take some time for the Duke's Mansion to rely on the three southern counties to directly become prosperous and strong. But I heard that the Shang Kingdom has been in turmoil for a while, and they The former prince suddenly returned to the Shang country to initiate a coup, that kid is also ambitious, if the coup succeeds, I am afraid that the three southern counties will be unstable." Qingfeng was scheming and had already inquired about some of the internal affairs of the Shang country.
Shang Guoguo is small and weak, if this time it is really a change of government, it will definitely expand by then.
With such a wealthy neighbor, if he is a prince of France, after he succeeds in seizing power, he will definitely target the three southern counties.
Besides, the young master of the Duke's Mansion is also restless, he has only been here for a long time, and he offended the Ji family of Hubu, and their Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, if they are too sharp, then Yi Yao.
"You kid, pretend to be a grandson, and apologize to your mother, and pretend to be reconciled. This time, our Wangpu didn't make a move, and the Duke's Mansion must be unwilling, so you sold several of our properties on Linlan Street, Be a favor to the Duke's Mansion, and deal with them first on the surface. After they have spent a lot of effort to build a shop on Linlan Street, they will hire local policemen and extort them to make them lose money. Nowhere to go," Qingfeng stroked the two beards around his mouth, his face full of scheming.
After hearing this, Qing Zizhu was immediately elated.
It is already impossible for him to settle the feud with the Duke's Mansion.
I heard that Ji Yun is also going to deal with the Duke's Mansion, so if the two villains join forces, the Duke's Mansion will not collapse.
Qing Zizhu thought to himself, he wants to see how long the Duke's Mansion can be proud under the attack from both sides.
Qing Zizhu's sudden compromise and the sincerity shown by the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce made the development of the matter far deviate from Yue Jinghua's expectations.
Not only did the Qing Mansion repay the debt, but Qing Zizhu also personally came to apologize, kowtowed Chi Xi three times, and offered to take Chi Xi back to the Qing Mansion, and also took out more than ten stores on Linlan Street as an apology. And thank you, thank Yue Jinghua for taking care of Chi Xi during this period.
Chixi persuaded Yue Jinghua to accept those stores, but she did not agree to Qing Zizhu and return to Qing Mansion.
"Zizhu can call me mother again, I'm already very happy, but when I return to Qing Mansion, I don't want to mention it again." After Chixi recognized her son, she seemed to have become ten years younger overnight, and her whole body was radiant. Vitality came to me, "I figured it out too, I'm Chixi, only when I'm a mercenary, I'm like a human being. How can I compare to being a mercenary in the open sea and sky when I'm fighting with women in a deep house compound?" Soldiers come free."
Although Yue Jinghua had doubts in his heart, the father and son of Yanyue Chamber of Commerce were careful, but after considering Chixi and those stores on Linlan Street, Yue Jinghua decided to put aside the conflict with Yanyue Chamber of Commerce for the time being.
On this day, Yue Jinghua received a message from Salman, saying that Yue Minzhi would wake up tonight.
Seven days and seven nights have passed, and according to Cheng Ying, Yue Minzhi's poison is no longer a serious problem, as long as he gets the last injection tonight, he can wake up safely.
After Yue Jinghua got the news, taking advantage of the caretakers of the Dragon Cave not paying attention, she secretly left the Dragon Cave and rushed to the Royal Hospital. It was time to change her identity with her elder brother.
