Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

The word "Shaoyou" shattered all of Wang Yanzhi's rationality and concerns.

On the way back to the palace, the streets were bustling and prosperous.

The carriage followed behind him at a leisurely pace.

He walked alone on the cobblestone street, looking at the green bricks and tiles on both sides and the red dawn light in the distance. The frown on his brows became heavier, and every fine wrinkle carried his intricate thoughts and considerations.

"Li Chong, go to the capital and inform the chief clerk, Mr. Zhang, to take care of the rest of the matters." Wang Yanzhi turned around and gave instructions.

"Yes." Li Chong quickly took the name token handed over by Wang Yanzhi. This is an identity token, a kind of identity proof used by officials to pass messages to each other.

Wang Yanzhi had been an official for many years and had had many dealings with the Bloodthirsty Pavilion.

This is a highly professional assassination organization that gathers many top masters and uses extremely cruel and ruthless methods. No one knows where its base is, and no one knows how many people are in it. The identity of the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion is a mystery, his appearance is unknown, and his age is unknown. Wang Yanzhi once spent a long time trying to find any clues but failed. Over time, people called the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion "Nameless".

Many years ago, the Bloodthirsty Pavilion and the Helian family of Lanling County had a dispute over a treasure. Helian Yun and "Wuming" fought on the top of "Sunset" for three days and three nights. In the end, Helian Yun won by chance.

Wang Yanzhi had handled hundreds or thousands of cases involving the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, all of which ended in failure. Lu Shen and Fu Yuan, whom he met yesterday, were only silver medal assassins in the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. Whether in terms of force or background, he obviously had no chance of winning.

So he decided to go to "Wangyou Mountain", where there was the world's number one village that had been famous for thousands of years.

Tianxia Diyizhuang is the largest escort organization in Yunqi, but this is only on the surface. In secret, they run the largest mercenary business. As long as the price is affordable, these mercenaries can be recruited by anyone. Although there are only 20,000 people, they are all brave and good at fighting, and they all have stories of vicissitudes behind them. It is a good destination for many wandering swordsmen and retired dark ones.

Since we mentioned the number one manor in the world, we have to mention its current owner Liu Huifeng.

Speaking of this man, he is a peculiar person. He is not like the former owner Liu Baichuan who carefully weighs the pros and cons before doing business, but he regards money as his life and puts money first. Over time, the reputation of the No. 1 Manor in the World is not as good as before, but with extraordinary courage, he makes money all year round and has a full warehouse of gold and silver.

More importantly, there is an inseparable and complicated fate between Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng.

Wang Yanzhi's background is too complicated to be discussed here. More than 20 years ago, his mother was Jiang Fuqiu, the "first beauty" in Dayun, and she was still loved by Liu Baichuan.

Since Liu Baichuan's wife passed away ten years ago, he has been thinking about marrying Bai Yueguang. However, Jiang Fuqiu already has three husbands and has no intention of marrying again.

People have three thousand ailments, only lovesickness cannot be cured.

Liu Baichuan wanted to find a breakthrough from Wang Yanzhi. He loved and cared for Wang Yanzhi in every way, even better than his own son Liu Huifeng, which led to the relationship between Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng becoming subtle.

Wang Yanzhi had not visited the "No. 1 Manor in the World" for a long time. He sat in the magnificent central hall and chatted with Liu Baichuan.

Liu Baichuan used his fingers to gently fiddle with the bodhi tree on his left wrist, and asked with a loving and slightly curious look, "What is your relationship with the noble lady of Li Changan's family?"

Wang Yanzhi paused, and said lightly: "Ordinary friends."

After that, a lazy voice suddenly rose up unexpectedly: "What do you mean by ordinary relationship? I think it's your sweetheart?"

Liu Huifeng was wearing a lake blue robe with cloud patterns today, and a jade crown of the same color on his head, inlaid with a grape-sized luminous pearl. He had a dark grey belt around his waist and was holding an extremely precious ivory folding fan in his hand. With a mischievous smile on his face, he walked briskly into the hall.

Liu Baichuan waved to his son: "Huifeng, you're here just in time. Are Li Yunchen and Qin Lao back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huifeng put down his crossed legs and sat up straight.

These two are the best masters in the No. 1 Manor. Especially Qin Yizhi, who is 65 this year. He became famous for his "Golden Dragon Knife" 40 years ago. He returned to the No. 1 Manor 20 years ago. If there is no big deal that is more difficult than heaven, he will not be needed. "

Liu Huifeng stared at Wang Yanzhi intently, raised his eyebrows, and asked slowly: "Wang Yanzhi, who are you going to deal with?"

Wang Yanzhi lifted the lid of the teacup with his right hand and gently scraped it. He said in a cold voice, "Master of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion."

Liu Huifeng clicked his tongue a few times in disbelief, put away his cynical expression, and pondered the feasibility of this deal.

"Wang Yanzhi, after all these years, you still refuse to change your mind and are stubborn to the end. Don't you have too few cases on hand? Look how idle you are!"

Although Tianxia No.1 Manor has never fought with Bloodthirsty Pavilion, it can refer to Helian Yun. He and Helian Yun have a good relationship, all because he admires Helian Qing. Unfortunately, the flower has intentions but the water is ruthless. Helian Qing said, "Sorry, the person I like is Xie Ci, the first son of Yunqi." She slapped him to the South Heaven Gate.

He had once sparred with Helian Yun, and in his opinion, Old Qin was slightly inferior. If Li Yunchen was added, there would be a chance of winning. But this deal was too unprofitable. It was a business that would obviously cost him a lot of money, so why do it!

Wang Yanzhi raised his eyes and stared at Liu Huifeng with a half-smile, and said leisurely: "Just tell me if you can do it or not?"

Liu Huifeng was choked up by this question. His competitive nature as a man was seriously challenged.

"It's very expensive! I'm afraid your salary is not even enough to compensate my wife!" Liu Huifeng was not so stupid. He drove him away as soon as possible and went back to his room to sleep. He waited outside the Helian Mansion for a whole day yesterday, but he didn't see his beloved "Qingqing" go out.

At this time, Liu Baichuan on the side spoke up. He frowned slightly and looked at his ignorant son in silence: "Hui Feng, what are you talking about! Why should we talk about money among family members? Hurry up and ask Li Yunchen and Qin Lao to come over."

This overwhelming tone froze Liu Huifeng. Where did his father get the confidence and shamelessness to be so high up in the world? Didn't he know how powerful the Bloodthirsty Pavilion was? Was he not willing to give up his family fortune just for Jiang Fuqiu?

Liu Baichuan was devoted to Wang Yanzhi. What else did he want at his age? He just wanted to have a happy marriage and continue their past relationship! Although Jiang Fuqiu had never looked at him straight in the eye.

He said earnestly: "Hui Feng, Yan Zhi rarely speaks up, we should support him as much as possible."

"Dad, that's the Bloodthirsty Pavilion!" Liu Huifeng reminded again. His dad - such a smart man, how could he be confused when it comes to things related to Jiang Fuqiu?

"How can you talk like that, kid? What's wrong with the Bloodthirsty Pavilion? Yanzhi just asked us to protect the noble lady of the Taifu family. We won't escort the convoy, and we won't risk our lives. What's wrong with that?" Liu Baichuan said it so calmly, as if it was a trivial matter.

Liu Huifeng felt that Wang Yanzhi was angry, and said to him rudely: "Didn't you say that you and that noble lady were just ordinary people? You dragged our No. 1 Manor into this with just an ordinary relationship? You don't know the strength of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, and only my father is willing to accompany you to get involved. How about this, last time you and Wei Wuya won a painting of "Prosperous Picture of Yangming Town" in the Treasure Pavilion, you bring it to me, this is more than a business deal!"

He intended to embarrass Wang Yanzhi, because the painting was painted by the Crown Prince Ye Qinghan. Wang Yanzhi's words alone did not count.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yanzhi looked at Liu Huifeng seriously and said, "It's a deal."

Liu Huifeng stared at his departing back in a daze, always feeling a bad premonition.

After leaving, Wang Yanzhi went directly to the Qiongzhou Prefecture. It's not that he didn't consider other feasibility, but finding the No. 1 Manor in the World was the best choice. Although the No. 1 Manor in the World was located in Dayun, it was not completely under the jurisdiction of Dayun. The mountain range was not far from Shangjing, but due to its geographical location, it intersected with the border of Beiming, so the ownership of the "Sunset Mountains" has always been controversial.

Over time, this mountain range was in a vacuum state, which was why the No. 1 Manor in the World could grow into a giant. After all, Wang Yanzhi was an official appointed by the court of Dayun. If he could use the power of the No. 1 Manor in the World, his concerns would be solved.

When Wei Wuya saw that Lord Wang, the Minister of Dali Temple, wanted to take away the priceless painting, he became extremely anxious and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down his forehead.

Before leaving, Wang Yanzhi said, "Don't make it public for now. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks, I will explain it myself." Then he walked away leisurely.

When Liu Huifeng saw the "Prosperous Picture of Yangming Town", his face turned green.

Once a word is spoken, it is as good as gold and jade.

Liu Huifeng had no choice but to accept it.

Wang Yanzhi told Liu Huifeng that he must not disturb the noble lady of the Taifu Mansion, and just make sure that no one from the Bloodthirsty Pavilion can get close to her, especially at night. The validity period is tentatively set at one year.

Liu Huifeng joked, "Wang Yanzhi, is Miss Mu your sweetheart? Why do you have to protect her after she married Xu Qingcheng? Where is Xu Qingcheng? This matter is definitely not your turn!"

Wang Yanzhi simply ignored his words and said, "Master Liu, the compensation I pay you will only make money in ten years, not to mention one year. I believe you are very clear about the value of Mr. Wu Liu's paintings. His paintings will only increase in value. This amount is worth your life. Since you have agreed, you will fulfill it from tonight. Remember, you must not alarm Miss Mu."

Liu Baichuan couldn't put down the "Prosperous Picture of Yangming Town". It was a painting worth over 100 million yuan! It was worth more than a thousand gold! But this painting was not obtained through legitimate means, so it couldn't be displayed openly. He looked at Liu Huifeng's gloomy eyes as he watched Wang Yan leave, and asked with concern: "Huifeng, are you sure?"

Liu Huifeng looked at his father speechlessly: "What do you think!" Seeing Wang Yanzhi leave, he thought of his son. Oh! It was rare for his beautiful peach blossom eyes to show a sharp color.

Liu Huifeng decided to go to the Taifu Mansion tonight to see the noble lady Mu. He wanted to see what kind of woman could make Wang Yanzhi so strong and soft.

After Wang Yanzhi returned to the Dali Temple, he restarted the investigation of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. This time, he planned to investigate the Treasure Pavilion again. According to his many years of experience in solving cases, the Treasure Pavilion should have some connection with the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. Maybe he overlooked some key points at the beginning. This time, he planned to investigate in depth.

Mu Yao got Wang Yanzhi's promise. Whether it was effective or not, at least she felt more at ease. The preparations for the Quyan were coming to an end. With some time left, she decided to stay indoors and wait for Xu Qingcheng to come back. She was struggling whether to tell him about this. Xu Qingcheng's love for her was becoming more and more crazy and paranoid. Mu Yao was not sure what he would do if he knew about it, and she was particularly worried that he would get hurt. Sometimes she felt that she didn't know Xu Qingcheng well enough, and she didn't know how to give him enough sense of security.

Meanwhile, Li Taifu had also taken action. In one day, dozens of people had arrived at the palace, two-thirds of whom were highly skilled guards. These people were all introduced by his acquaintances, and he knew them well, so there was no need to worry about any problems.

Xu Qingcheng's auction of two treasures in Yuhe City of Yunlan Kingdom went smoothly. "Water Lily" was bought by Chu Jingyao, the second prince of Yunlan, at a price of 56 million taels. Another "Lamb Fat Lotus Incense Burner" was bought by Ye Guizhi, the lord of Nandi City, at a sky-high price of 110 million taels. Ye Guizhi paid a bloody price for this treasure burner. He had to eat pickled radishes for at least half a year.

Originally, this was a very happy event. However, he encountered a big problem now—he was favored by Chu Manman, the famous princess of Yunlan Country who had 28 husbands before she got married.

Chu Manman fell in love with Xu Qingcheng at first sight in the "Changsheng Pavilion", and fell in love with her again. However, Emperor Yunwen of Yunlan Kingdom is a daughter slave, and she has five royal brothers who love her very much. Now Yunlan Kingdom intends to recruit Xu Qingcheng as a consort and trap him in Yunlan Kingdom.

Emperor Yunwen was very quick and directly sent a letter to Emperor Qingyuan expressing his willingness to conclude a marriage alliance between the two countries.

The letter had been delivered to Emperor Qingyuan, but the news was temporarily suppressed. This was because Crown Prince Ye Qinghan reported that the Beiming delegation was about to visit, and was worried that it would affect Lady Mu's preparations for the music banquet, so he advised Emperor Qingyuan to tell the truth after the music banquet was over.

The news was kept secret, and no one else knew about it except Emperor Qingyuan and Ye Qinghan.

Emperor Qingyuan was an experienced person. He looked at Ye Qinghan with a burning gaze and asked directly, "Qinghan, are you interested in Miss Mu?"

Ye Qinghan lowered his chin and coughed as if his secrets had been revealed.

No one knows a son better than his father. Emperor Qingyuan pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, I know you are lonely in the empty courtyard, spring is coming to an end, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground, but the door is not open. How about this, at this banquet, let me see if she is worthy of this position."

Ye Qinghan was delighted. His father did not stop him, nor did he mention Helian Qing. If Mu Yao could catch his father's eye, it was not impossible. But what about his mother... ?

When he thought about his mother's current incompatibility with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he wondered if she would be implicated.
