Time passes day by day...
In Ganhuang City, Lin Tianlong finally promised the Nanyang family the right to operate a branch of the salt and iron business, but the territory was limited to Ganhuang City. Nanyang Fan Hou thought that since he only had the territory of Ganhuang City, that was not bad! After all, there were many wealthy people in Ganhuang City! If all the salt and iron passed through his hands, he would be able to make a fortune soon!
Later, Nanyang Fan Hou began to manage and sell salt and iron, and he finally got the position of director of salt and iron as he wished! But he found that the main power was still in the hands of the emperor. He did not think much about it. After all, it was just a division of power, which was enough to make him suffer!
He then raised the prices of salt and iron throughout Ganhuang City and began selling his remaining salt and iron at his own shop. He began to imagine a better future, but he discovered that after three days, only family members had purchased salt and iron from those shops. He couldn't help but wonder, has everyone in the city stopped eating salt? How come after three days, no one is buying? He had only secretly raised the price slightly!
Nanyang Fan Hou immediately sent people to investigate the matter. Upon learning the truth, he was furious! It turned out to be the other three aristocratic families secretly selling off their previously purchased salt and iron at a low price. This made Nanyang Fan Hou furious. They clearly didn't want him to live a good life! They were disgusting to him! And you don't have the right to sell salt and iron! Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?
So he quickly went to the palace to report the matter to Lin Tianlong! After listening to Nanyang Fan Hou's complaint! Lin Tianlong pretended to take it very seriously and seriously agreed to Nanyang Fan Hou's request. He said he would punish the other three families and told him to go back and wait! So it continued like this, but the other three families did not stop and continued to sell! Nanyang Fan Hou had already been questioned by many people, and countless doubts came from the family. At this time, Nanyang Fan Hou had already realized that he might have been tricked!
After escaping, Fang Taimin returned to Qi's border territory. After a short rest, he immediately assembled his troops and, along with several of his most capable officers, prepared to set out! This time, he was going to strike with all his might! No more let-up! He was going to make those bandits and the incompetent border guards pay!
He learned from his previous experience and decided not to confront the concentrated border guards head-on. Instead, he headed south, directly around to a place further away, right outside Xiqing County! This time, he caught them off guard! He directly defeated the Dagan border guards! He broke into the border! He headed straight for Xiqing County.
He led his troops at full speed, heading towards the path they had taken last time! He also warned his men not to kill the wild chickens here! He also believed what Xu Xiaoyi had said last time, that Xiqing County had disappeared. But at this moment, he stopped his horse, staring at the huge gray city wall in front of him with a look of shock, and fell into deep thought.
A wall is actually being built here? Are they building it further inland, rather than on the border? Is it to protect us? No, it looks like someone is still working on the wall! Does that mean it's newly constructed and unfinished?
In Xiqing County...
Su Yanyue was sitting next to Xu Xiaoyi, who was eating with a bowl and a spoon. She smiled and said to Xu Xiaoyi:
"Sir, please promise me that if I ever get you into trouble, you will abandon me!"
Xu Xiaoyi was eating and opening a suitcase. After hearing Su Yanyue's words, he put down his bowl and looked at Su Yanyue. Their eyes met. Su Yanyue blushed first, then Xu Xiaoyi thought about it carefully. There must be a reason why the girl suddenly said such sensitive words!
"Xiaoyue! Are you... having your period..."
Bang!
puff!
Xu Xiaoyi was suddenly punched in the air, his entire face twisted and twisted! Even the food in his mouth was vomited out!
"Don't be so rude, you bastard! Speak politely to the lady!"
When Su Yanyue saw Xu Xiaoyi suddenly tilt his head and spit out the food, she immediately stepped forward to ask about his concern! But Xu Xiaoyi repeatedly waved his hands to indicate that he was fine!
Xu Xiaoyi rubbed his red and swollen right cheek, then raised his head and angrily looked at the system in mid-air, pointing at him and cursing! Then he calmed down! He regained his handsome appearance and looked at Su Yanyue with concern and asked:
"Why do you say that? Is this the seventh-rank master you mentioned earlier?"
Su Yanyue stood up and looked at Xu Xiaoyi who was sitting on the doorstep. She entangled her fingers with her bangs and said embarrassedly:
"You also know that the power behind me is very powerful. My lord, you can't be my opponent. And I will be discovered sooner or later. So I want to use the remaining time to leave you with beautiful memories! That's all! This is already my extravagant wish."
Xu Xiaoyi thought for a moment, "When did I know about the powerful force behind her?" He tilted his mouth and said with a smile:
"You, you! Don't you trust me at all?"
Hearing this, Su Yanyue waved her hands anxiously.
"Of course not, sir! You are the most amazing person in the world! Not only gentle but also very funny, talented and unique! You are also extremely reliable when it matters most, and you are also the trust of so many people. Sometimes you are as cute as a child. I have never met anyone like you! Because of this, I don't want you to get stuck in the mud because of me. That would be very selfish."
Su Yanyue looked at Xu Xiaoyi in front of her and mustered up the courage to shyly speak out. She didn't lie. The people she had met in the past were all driven by power, money and food! Those kinds of people made her feel dark and scared!
Xu Xiaoyi looked at Su Yanyue's words, which sounded like a confession, and her shy expression. Even the thick-skinned Xu Xiaoyi felt a little embarrassed at this moment, and at the same time, he also wondered what was wrong with her. Ever since seeing the Qi identity card, she had become much bolder, so bold that it was like a deathbed of relief! Could she be from Qi?
"Since ancient times, people who care too much about others cannot be happy. Besides, I've already said that I will protect you. What are you afraid of? Can those Qi people really make it here?"
"Sir! The Qi people who were defeated last time are here again!"
As soon as Xu Xiaoyi finished speaking, Xi Xiao suddenly appeared from nowhere and shouted at Xu Xiaoyi anxiously:
[Su Yanyue's shocking reward*100]
Xu Xiaoyi's face instantly turned black, and then he roared in anger:
"Are all the Dagan border guards shit eaters? Why did we let them in again?"
Xu Xiaoyi immediately stood up and asked Su Yanyue to hide, and then prepared to go to the battlefield with Xi Xiao. At this time, Su Yanyue grabbed the corner of his clothes, looked at Xu Xiaoyi with tears in her eyes and a face of grievance!
"I won't let you go! And they're just a few little Karamis! I can handle them quickly!"
"Sir! There may be thousands of people coming from Qi this time..."
Bang!
Xu Xiaoyi threw a deliberate punch directly at Xi Xiao's stomach, and then said angrily:
"You stinky Xixiao! Pay attention to the situation when you speak! And if you hadn't stopped me last time, I would have killed them all!"
Then Xu Xiaoyi turned to Su Yanyue and said:
"Go hide first!! I'll be back soon!"
Su Yanyue looked at Xu Xiaoyi's receding back uncomfortably.
