After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year again.

This year is no different from previous years. A lot of money is poured out, and the house is created with a strong New Year atmosphere and unparalleled wealth.

Gift-givers came one after another, and Hua Guanshi's daily job was to receive gifts and register them. New Year's gifts from the palace to each family were also sent out. Although the prince was still absent this year, the lively atmosphere in the palace did not decrease at all.

The days were still peaceful. For the sake of her own life, Yan Muan had not left the house since she came back from the capital. She had no choice but to do so, she was too afraid of death.

Although she didn't go out, the news from outside was not lost at all. In addition to the people from the palace who went out to inquire about the news, the Yong family also often came to tell her some news and listen to her. It could be said that she could know what was going on in the city without leaving home.

After the year, as the road from Yongcheng to the border became smoother, merchants from the two places had frequent exchanges, and news of Tiansheng also began to spread in Yongcheng. After a while, the Wentian Sect became so strong that it could compete with the government, and there was a tendency to dominate the mountain and become the king. Already;

Suddenly, in the past few months, Tiansheng suddenly had a number of ruthless gangsters. They were extremely vicious, but they also robbed the rich and gave to the poor. They specifically targeted officials and wealthy people. Their methods were ruthless and cunning, and it was said that they were difficult to guard against;

I also heard that several granaries in the border town of Tiansheng were suddenly hit by sky fire, and no grains were left.

Before everyone could finish sighing, there was news that the country to the north of Tiansheng had sent troops to Tiansheng...

"The city is very lively now. There are more and more merchants coming and going, and the news is all kinds of, which is really fresh."

Mrs. Yongwu came again today, smiling and talking about things outside, "I don't know if there is too much news coming. Why does it sound like Tiansheng is in chaos?"

Mrs. Yong San took over, "Chaos is not good, I wish they would be more chaotic."

"It's best to just subjugate the country, just like the previous chaotic land, lock them in and let them fight each other, so as not to cause trouble to us."

Mrs. Yong Wu nodded repeatedly, "In this case, they are not chaotic enough now, they should be more chaotic."

Yan Mu'an listened to them with a smile and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast. I always think that yesterday was the Chinese New Year. Who would have thought that it is already the spring plowing season."

"Since I returned to the city last year, the palace has not hosted guests yet, so why not take this opportunity to invite ladies from various families to come and sit down, it will be lively and lively."

Mrs. Yongjiu smiled and said: "I came over today to discuss this matter with the princess. Our chamber of commerce has been extremely popular since it opened, and many people want to join. We are running this chamber of commerce in your name, princess." , and then the money was collected, but many people didn't even see the princess, and they were very anxious. "

The Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money just from membership fees. Mrs. Yongjiu is indeed a good business person. She did not need Yan Mu'an to remind her. She divided the levels of the Chamber of Commerce into three levels. The lowest level is one year. The membership fee also requires two thousand taels of silver, and the top level A requires five thousand taels a year. If you spend such a huge amount to join the membership, you naturally hope to get something in return.

Yan Mu'an thought for a while, "Then hold a small banquet. You invite all the first-class members of the chamber of commerce to come in, and make them feel that the money spent is worth it."

"As for banquets with various families in the city, we can wait until the flowers bloom."

Mrs. Yongjiu smiled and said that she would prepare a post invitation as soon as possible, and she would just discuss the specific details of the banquet with Aunt Guan.

After the three Yong family members left, Yan Mu'an sighed quietly. As soon as the widowed king arrived, no news came back, and he didn't know what the progress was. Yan Huaiqing, who was lost in thought, came.

"The news just came that the food from several granaries on the Tiansheng border has been transported across the border and handed over to the generals stationed at the border."

As he spoke, he took out a letter and gave it to Yan Muan. The letter stated very clearly that with the help of the Wentian Sect, all the food in the Tiansheng border granary was replaced by Gu Kang, and then burned completely in a fire. net.

The guard at the border belongs to the king. He has received the news from the king a long time ago, asking him to cooperate internally and externally to complete the matter. Yan Huaiqing said: "This matter was completed smoothly."

Yan Mu'an was very curious. Didn't the general of the Tiansheng border garrison notice it at all?

What she didn't know was that the general was obviously the third prince of Tiansheng, but secretly he had a token of his family left in Tiansheng's capital sent to him as a threat. It was the third prince of Tiansheng and The king and the widow worked together to accomplish this.

At this time, in the palace of the third prince Tiansheng, Wang Gua, the staff member, was playing chess with the third prince. The chess game was tense, but both parties did not panic at all, talking while making moves.

"Today morning, my father continued to recruit troops to the Xiang Kingdom. As Mr. wished, he sent my good sixth brother who has many masters in his name."

Wang Gua lost a son, "The third prince is a great talent."

The third prince frowned slightly, "He is indeed a fierce general. If he had not been too ambitious, I would not have let him die."

Wang Gua raised his eyes and said, "This man is brave and resourceful, has a deep knowledge of the city, and knows the art of war very well. Although he has many powerful generals under his name, those powerful generals only listen to his orders. Unless he takes the high position himself, who will do it to him?" It’s all a threat.”

"It's just a lost pearl. Without him, Tiansheng is still strong. On the contrary, with him, Tiansheng is surrounded on all sides."

Wang Gua, the widowed king, this is the name Yongchang gave himself after he arrived at Tiansheng. Who made the princess always call him 'the widowed king' in her heart before? If he didn't want to be widowed, he could only do the other way around.

"This son is very evil. The son of a fish seller has been fishing and selling fish since he was a child. How can he acquire this skill for no reason?"

"I can read and write, and I seem to suddenly master the art of war and strategy without any teacher. It's really incredible."

Just like the princess, she suddenly got magical powers. Magical powers are something you can't find but can't ask for, but he can only allow him, the emperor brother and the princess to have them. He doesn't trust anyone else to have them.

Of course, the third prince carefully checked his sixth brother. He had been extremely mediocre for more than ten years. His temperament changed drastically after he was knocked underwater during a heavy rain while fishing and was rescued. He knew everything about astronomy and geography. "He is The explanation is that he met the old man with a white beard who came to teach him his skills every night, and he got a great opportunity. My father believed it. "

"I think we didn't accuse him unjustly this time. The Wentian Sect said that the Heavenly Sage sent down the Overlord Star, but the Overlord Star was extremely vicious. Who was he talking about?"

The widowed king picked up a cup of tea and paid a visit to Tiansheng. He really gained a lot.

The third prince of Tiansheng looked at him and said, "I will help you get what you want, but don't break your promise when I want it."

The widowed king put down the tea cup and said, "Of course, but I have to change what I said before. I want five cities on the border."

Disrupting the chess game, he used the chess pieces to lay out the approximate positions, "These five cities are not too important to you. The land is barren and the people are sparse. If these five cities are discarded, the Tiansheng garrison will retreat to Yannan Pass. , the required troops are only 60% of the current ones.”
