"A tour group? What's that?" Wu Lanshan asked.

Cui Yuanzhao explained with a smile, "Traveling alone is like traveling, but a group of people makes a tour. Let me tell you, Qihuai County is a lot of fun. You've just recovered from your illness and haven't had a chance to explore the capital properly yet. Going to Qihuai County is a better choice. I guarantee that after you've been to Qihuai County, you'll never look down on any of the entertainment in the capital again."

"Really?" Wu Lanshan asked doubtfully.

“How could this be false? I have no reason to lie to you.” Cui Yuanzhao said confidently, “Seven Huai County does have many things that are not as good as the capital, after all, it is a small county. But when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, I think there is no place in the world that can compare to it.”

Wu Lanshan laughed and said, "If that's what you're saying, then I'm even more curious."

Cui Yuanzhao became interested and, speaking from experience, began to tell Lei Yan and Wu Lanshan about what he had done and the people he had met during his last trip to Qihuai County.

From entertainment venues and massage parlors to card rooms and billiard halls...

There are countless kinds of gadgets, making it dazzling.

"In Qihuai County alone, there are many different ways to play chess and cards. I don't know where Old Tang came up with all these ways to play..."

The convoy slowly drove towards Yingzhou.

At the rear of the convoy, a few hundred meters away, Zhang Dazheng was riding a tall horse.

Beside him was another man on horseback.

The other person was dressed in a black robe, completely covered from head to toe, with only half of their face showing.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of the cold, or if I'm just ashamed to be seen by

Zhang Da had no interest in talking to them. These people always seemed sinister, and there weren't many people in the entire mansion who could have normal contact with them.

The only thing that's certain is that these people are very strong.

Moreover, he exuded a murderous aura, like the killing intent in a storyteller's tale.

This made Zhang Da involuntarily fearful.

Besides the person beside him, there were several other people following him in different places, but Zhang Da did not find any trace of them; they were well hidden.

"Never mind, just make sure the young master gets to Qihuai County safely. Even if he encounters trouble, they'll take care of it..."

Zhang Da stopped thinking about it and silently took control of the horse.

Seven Locust Trees County, the backyard of the county government office.

The door was open, and on either side of a chessboard in the center, two women dressed in only thin clothes sat facing each other.

Each of them had a few chess pieces beside them, and both were completely focused on the chessboard.

These two people were none other than Princess Qin Yuyang and Princess Gongyang Tingbai.

After playing chess with Tang Huan again, the two realized that even if they worked together, they could not win and would only suffer defeat after defeat. So they simply stopped playing chess with Tang Huan and instead played against each other.

Because the players are evenly matched, the games are often very close and difficult to decide, making them even more interesting.

Gongyang Tingbai played with the opponent's cannon he had just captured, his eyes clear and determined.

"General, you have lost!"

Qin Yuyang looked down at Gongyang Tingbai as he pointed a chariot straight at the baseline, and nodded slightly in surrender.

Gongyang Tingbai couldn't help but laugh. "It's still more interesting to play chess with you. There's no hope of winning against that guy. Even if you capture his pieces, it's because he deliberately lets you capture them. He's dug countless traps for you to fall into."

Qin Yuyang said calmly, "He always has a lot on his mind. You can't guess what he's thinking. It's the same with playing chess and other things."

Since Qin Yuyang was the only one in front of him, Gongyang Tingbai didn't bother to maintain his composure and pouted, "That guy has been acting suspiciously and even looks sleazy. I wonder what Wu Lanxi was looking at."

In front of Qin Yuyang, Gongyang Tingbai was not the alluring and aloof princess of the Northern Region, but more like an ordinary young girl.

They also have their own temper, their own joys and sorrows.

"And what about you? Haven't you always wanted to bring him to the Northern Region?"

Gongyang Tingbai chuckled, "If he agrees, I wouldn't mind making him prime minister, or even marrying me and having me serve him for the rest of my life."

"He doesn't lack women, you've seen it all," Qin Yuyang said calmly.

“The ordinary girls in Qihuai County aren’t as pretty or as well-built as us. Besides, we’re princesses. We have a bigger advantage.”

Qin Yuyang looked at Gongyang Tingbai seriously, "Then you can try to get him drunk in the next few days, and then force yourself on him. With the physical strength of people from the Northern Region, you have a great chance."

"Really?" Gongyang Tingbai scratched his head. "I feel like you're lying to me. That guy has been drinking these past few days. Have you ever seen him drunk? He might look drunk one moment, but he could be jumping around like a madman the next."

"So what? He just has a low alcohol tolerance and gets drunk with great difficulty. It's not like he's completely unaffected. As far as I know, in the few years since he came to Qihuai County, he has never shared a room with Xue'e or been intimate with any other woman. You just need to show your charming and sexy side when he's affected by alcohol, and maybe he'll take the initiative to pounce on you?"

Gongyang Tingbai looked at Qin Yuyang with suspicion, "I still think you're lying to me."

Qin Yuyang was also very frank, "I'm not lying to you, this is indeed a method, but I'm not sure if it will work, so I want you to try it first."

"Well, you're something else!" Gongyang Tingbai jumped down from above the chessboard, showing off her excellent physical abilities. She grabbed Qin Yuyang with her arms outstretched, "You look so gentle and weak, yet you have such vicious thoughts."

Qin Yuyang smiled frankly and said, "I'm just like you, and I even need his protection more than you do."

“That’s true.” Gongyang Tingbai nodded. “How about I get you some medicine? Tang Huan is, after all, a man…”

Qin Yuyang looked at Gongyang Tingbai, about to speak, when Tang Huan's voice came from outside.

"Don't just sit there, get to work."

Tang Huan stood at the doorway, watching the two embracing intimately, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Are you two a lesbian couple?"

Without waiting for a reply, he continued to urge, "Don't just stand there, we have distinguished guests from the capital, get ready."

The two quickly put on their heavy clothes and followed Tang Huan out of the government office.

"Have you confirmed who the guests from the capital are?" Gongyang Tingbai asked. "Could they be here to demand an explanation?"

Two or three days have passed since Tang Huan killed the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, so it is indeed possible.

"It doesn't seem like it." Tang Huan shook her head.

However, just in case, Tang Huan first instructed Li Daikui to arrange superior rooms at Zuixianju, preparing to give these guests the best possible treatment.

If it's a merchant from the capital, then rip them off.

If one is a member of the officialdom in the capital, then it is appropriate to show some goodwill.

After hearing Tang Huan's arrangements, Qin Yuyang asked, "What about us? What should we do?"

"Let's just wait at Zuixianju."
