Chu Qiao suddenly opened her eyes as if she was blind, she could only see a shadowy figure, she said unhappily on the spot: "What are you doing? This is a veil for wind and sand, I can't see the way if I wear this."
Zhuge Yue couldn't help but waved away her hand about to pull off the veil, and said, "Follow me if you don't see it."
Chu Qiao was annoyed, since she had to wear such a thick scarf, why would she wear makeup
She took a step carefully, but almost bumped into the table.
"Stupid!" Zhuge Yue stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said angrily, "Follow me!"
Chu Qiao struggled hard, "Let me go!"
Zhuge Yue suddenly turned around and grabbed her chin. Chu Qiao was startled, thinking that he was going to fight her, she immediately made a move, and in an instant, she pressed the dagger under her sleeve against Zhuge Yue's neck, the movement was quick amazing.
Who knows that Zhuge Yue didn't seem to see the dagger, looked at her coldly, and said in a gloomy tone: "If you talk so much, I really don't mind dying with you." He put down his hand, took her hand, turned around and walked outside.
"Keep an eye on the door and don't allow anyone to step in!"
"yes!"
"Let's go, what are you thinking?" Zhuge Yue reprimanded impatiently, and pulled her out of the room.
Yue Qi hurriedly led people to follow behind, leaving only a few soldiers guarding the room, shaking their heads and looking at the backs of everyone, a guard sighed: "Young Master really likes this woman, I take it with me wherever I go."
"Maybe if we go back from Bian Tang this time, there will be a happy event in our house. Even if you are not the wife, you can still take a concubine. The young master has already reached the age of taking a concubine."
The night breeze was cool and quiet. The flowers are red, the willows are green, and the herbs are fragrant. The spacious long street is full of people, merchants, and shops. It is a bustling and prosperous scene.
Xianyang City is Xianyang City again.
After many days of running around, a group of people finally walked into the gate of Xianyang City. The accompanying guards paid the entrance fee, and more than 20 horses guarded a green cloth carriage, and slowly walked into the streets of Xianyang City.
Although Xianyang is a border town, its commerce is extremely prosperous, so the buildings in the city are built magnificently.
The city is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is mainly composed of the Mengren Palace in the south of Chishui and the Luoli Palace in the east of Chishui. The stone bridge is thick and wide, and can accommodate more than 20 vehicles and horses in parallel. Although Mengren Palace and Luoli Palace are named after palaces, they are not real palaces, but are composed of one mansion after another.
As we all know, Xianyang is the most prosperous and prosperous city in the world, and it is not inferior to the major cities in the port of Huai Song. Relying on its strong geographical advantages, it developed rapidly in just 30 years, and quickly established itself in the prosperous business city of Simon Continent. The annual tax revenue sent to the imperial capital is enough to cover the entire expenditure of one-third of the imperial army within a year. It is said that this small city includes all the rich people in the entire Simon continent, and those rich people who spend a lot of money have bought land in the inner city of Xianyang and built luxury houses. Looking around, the magnificent buildings are majestic, rolling and magnificent.
The outer city covers an extremely large area, more than ten times larger than the inner city, and it is a place where civilians and merchants gather. The commerce here is developed, the transportation is convenient, and there are all kinds of wine shops, banks, pawnshops, carriage and horse dealers, shops, inns, and restaurants. A red, pink and emerald green pavilion by the Chishui is even more fragrant. Even in the daytime, there are faint laughter of women.
The carriage traveled all the way and entered Xianyang City, and no longer concealed it. After all, this is a world-famous business capital, with many rich people, and the mere twenty guards are not particularly conspicuous.
This group of people is exactly Yanbei's people, and the man in the carriage is naturally Yanbei's eldest son Yan Xun who has just led Yanbei to become independent. Yan Xun's complexion was a little pale, but his eyes were not lacking in sharpness. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about some troublesome question.
"Young master, we have arrived."
Wearing a simple blue robe, Yan Xun, with clear eyebrows and a calm complexion, jumped off the carriage and walked towards a resplendent mansion.
This mansion is located in Luoli Palace and consists of 18 courtyards. Although it is not comparable to the mansions in Zhenhuang City, there are more people in Xianyang and less land. The living area of the ministers, senior officials and wealthy businessmen can have such a large area, which shows that The owner of the house is in Xianyang's position.
Yan Xun walked all the way, there was no one on the way, Ah Jing and other guards quickly dispersed, and took the whole house under control, taking strict precautions. After a while, Yan Xun, accompanied by more than a dozen guards including Ah Jing, came to the main court, only to see a man in a blue robe leading hundreds of servants kneeling on the ground, saying loudly without raising his head : "The subordinates welcome the son, the son will live forever, and the blessing will last forever."
Yan Xun, who was frowning tightly along the way, suddenly smiled, took two steps forward, put his arm on the other's shoulder, and cursed with a smile: "You son of a bitch, get up!"
The young man is only about twenty years old, with delicate features, fair skin and snow-white skin, two very thin eyebrows, vaguely feminine, only his eyes are shrewdly turning, he looks like a scheming guy .
"Hey," the young man said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. I have prepared delicious food and wine. Let's go in and have a rest first."
Yan Xun nodded, and walked forward first, tugging at the young man's clothes as he walked, curling his lips and saying, "Weaving brocade? Brat, you're doing well."
"Your Majesty," the young man said aggrievedly with a bitter expression on his face, "this is already my most worn-out piece of clothing, just in case you said I was extravagant, and found such a piece of clothing through rummaging through boxes and cabinets. I am wearing it now. It still itch."
"Haha," Yan Xun laughed loudly, turned around and said to Ah Jing while laughing, "See, the so-called "push your nose on your face" is tailor-made for people like him."
Ah Jing chuckled, smiled at the young man, punched him on the shoulder, and said: "You are so arrogant, be careful that the young master has stolen your home."
A few people chatted and laughed as they entered the room. There were sumptuous delicacies prepared in the main hall, and everyone sat around the table without talking about business. While eating, they talked about some interesting stories along the way. Yan Xun seems to be in a good mood today, even Ah Jing said that he rescued Miss Helian on the road as a joke, he was not angry.
After finishing the meal, Ah Jing retreated tactfully, Yan Xun and the young man walked into the study together, after closing the door, the expressions of the two of them no longer showed the slightest hint of laughter. The young man lifted the hem of his shirt, knelt down on the ground, and said in a low voice with excitement, "My lord, you are here."
Yan Xun knelt down and helped him up, his face had a rare soft look, the corners of his mouth were soft and his eyes were soft, and he said calmly: "Feng Mian, how long have we not seen each other?"
Sure enough, this young man was the little Shu Tong Fengmian who followed Yan Xun back then and sent letters to Chu Qiao many times. That day outside Zhenhuang City, most of Yan Xun's attendants were killed, Feng Mian was young, although he was seriously injured, he escaped with his life.
Afterwards, the Yanbei family was uprooted by the empire, Yan Xun lost power, and Fengmian lived two years of being inferior to pigs and dogs. Until the third year, Yan Xun bought the guards with a lot of money, and rescued the child who had been imprisoned in the dark water prison for two years and ascended to heaven.
Feng Mian couldn't stay in the imperial capital, so he went south alone and came to Xianyang City. With the help of the Great Peer Association and the Yanbei Hardcore Faction, six years later, he has become the leading mafia hero in Xianyang City. More than 80 shops, including pawnshops and money houses, controlled more than 20 ferry shipyards in Chishui area in the southeast of the empire, and created the Water Overlord Cao Gang, which was powerful in the north and south of the river. Nowadays, in the southeast area, no one may know Fengmian, but when it comes to Fourth Master Feng, even a three-year-old child may be able to recite some of his legendary deeds.
"Your Majesty, it has been six years, and the servant finally waited for this day." Feng Mian's eyes were red and misty, and he held Yan Xun's hand excitedly, and said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, in a blink of an eye, you've already grown into an adult." Yan Xun smiled, "I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for the famous Fourth Lord Feng to call himself a slave. I heard that even Lord Jing and King Ling are You are a frequent visitor to the house, last year King Ling’s son Zhao Zhongyan owed you money from the Cao Gang, you even publicly burned King Ling’s fleet, and King Ling lost thousands of brocades, almost making it hard for years.”
Feng Mian smiled shyly. He didn't look like a gangster at all, he looked like a shy little girl. He said embarrassedly: "What is the fourth master, it's just people outside. Zhao Zhongyan relied on He is a descendant of the Zhao family, and he used his title to suppress me, so I naturally couldn't make him look good. Besides, we suffered a lot from the Lingwang Mansion back then in the imperial capital, and the slaves have long disliked them." Speaking of this, Feng Mian suddenly looked a little excited, "Feng Mian will always be a slave in front of the prince. Without the prince, there would be no slave today. The slave's life belongs to the prince. If he dares to put on airs in front of the prince, is the slave still a human being?"
"Okay, get up." Yan Xun smiled, "I was just joking with you, why take it seriously?" After saying that, he pulled Feng Mian up. The two sat down opposite each other on a tea seat, Feng Mian cooked tea and boiled water neatly, after a while, the fresh fragrance of tea filled the whole room.
"Your Majesty," Feng Mian asked with a smile on his eyes, "where's the girl? How is she? Why didn't she come? A while ago I heard that you guys had a big fight in Zhenhuang, and the girl even brought thousands of The men and horses fought north and south, and killed the officers and soldiers of Daxia to the brim. The slaves were so happy that they couldn't sleep all night. At that time, they wished they could take the men and horses back to Yanbei. This time you go to Bian Tang, won't the girl follow you?"
Yan Xun's face was calm, and he said slowly: "I got separated from her, Zhao Che issued a wanted warrant, and the whole country is hunting for Ah Chu, don't you know?"
"What?" Feng Mian was taken aback, and said, "But then news came out from Yanbei that the girl had gone back!"
"I released that news, it's fake, I just hope it can ease the pursuit of Ah Chu a little bit. Let them think that Ah Chu has returned to Yanbei, so they don't need to chase after him." Yan Xun shouted I took a sip of tea and said, "Although I have notified the vassals and vassals before, I am still afraid that they will not pursue them clearly, and then they will stumble secretly, so I have to make extra preparations."
Feng Mian nodded, and said with a frown: "So the girl is still fleeing outside, don't worry, my son will send someone out to look for it. Don't dare to say anything else, as long as the girl is still in the territory of Daxia, no matter whether it is land or water, There are people who are slaves."
Yan Xun shook his head slowly, "I guess, she may have left Da Xia and entered Bian Tang."
"Bian Tang?"
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, she should have transferred to Bian Tang, then detoured to Tang Jing, turned into Southern Xinjiang, and went up the river."
"So the prince came to Bian Tang?"
Yan Xun nodded and said, "This is also one of the reasons."
"Well, I'll give you an order right away to inform the Cao Gang in Bian Tang to look for it. As long as the girl is on the water, there will be news."
