"No problem, Miss Xiao, you may leave an address. Once Xia has worked out a detailed transportation plan and price list, I will personally deliver it to your residence."

Xia Yun said with a smile.

As long as the price is right, all problems will no longer be a problem. At the same time, in his heart, he began to guess the origin of the woman in front of him.

The other party claimed his surname was Xiao.

The surname Xiao was the national surname of the Daliang Dynasty, originating from Xiao Chengliang, the first emperor of the Daliang Dynasty.

In addition, this place is the capital city and the girl is a wealthy businessman, so Xia Yun naturally connected the two things together.

In his opinion, the girl Xiao in front of him was most likely from the royal family of Daliang.

And there is a high probability that she is the apple of some prince's eye, otherwise it is impossible to explain the huge amount of silver she has.

When the empress heard Xia Yun asking for the address, a brief hesitation appeared on her face, but she soon nodded.

"can."

The empress spoke in response.

Seeing this, Xia Yun immediately ordered someone to bring paper and pen and place them in front of Miss Xiao.

The empress immediately wrote down an address in great style.

"North Gate, Xiao Mansion."

Xia Yun read aloud as he read, and only after the empress stopped writing did Xia Yun put the paper away.

"Miss Xiao's calligraphy is really good. Now that we have reached a cooperation agreement again, could you please tell me my name?"

After putting away the address, Xia Yun asked again.

When he was in Dai County before, Xia Yun only knew that the woman in front of him was surnamed Xiao. As for her full name, she had never told Xia Yun.

"Xiao Ling'er."

This time, the empress responded without hesitation.

"Miss Ling'er, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Xia Yun smiled and stretched out her hand.

Due to the huge profits brought by this business, Xia Yun forgot the ancient rule that men and women should not touch each other.

The empress looked at Xia Yun's suddenly extended hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.

This bastard is so brave!

The empress thought to herself.

When the female official standing by saw this scene, there was even a flash of panic in her eyes.

Since the empress was born until she ascended the throne, she has never had any contact with strange men.

However, the next moment, a scene appeared that shocked the female official even more.

The empress actually stretched out her hand and held Xia Yun's hand.

“I wish our cooperation goes well.”

The empress also had a smile on her face, and there was nothing unusual about her.

The female official subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands to hide her shocked expression.

This guy Xia Yun actually shook His Majesty's hand!

A huge wave of shock suddenly arose in the female official's mind. If the old guys in the royal family saw this scene, they would tear Xia Yun to pieces alive.

After the two shook hands, Xia Yun finally realized how rash he had been.

In this era where women's chastity is extremely valued, shaking hands with a woman who is most likely a member of the royal family is obviously inappropriate.

But Xia Yun changed his mind and thought, so what if she was a woman from the royal family?

Even if the empress stood in front of him, she was just a woman.

He, Xia Yun, should be what he is!

At this time, Chen Ming, who had been in a daze for a long time, drank another bowl of wine by himself. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell drunk on the table.

However, just as Xia Yun was about to call the innkeeper to carry Chen Ming into the inn to rest.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds in the distance on the street. The vibration on the ground was extremely obvious, and dust particles kept jumping and flashing.

Seeing this, Xia Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

As far as he knew, the rule in the capital was that no one was allowed to ride a horse at a gallop.

Then the sound of horse hooves coming from afar must not be from ordinary people.

The street he was on now led neither to the city gate nor to the imperial palace.

For a moment, Xia Yun tapped the table lightly with his hand.

Then, in less than three breaths, Jiang Wenzhong and Chong Heihu quietly appeared behind Xia Yun.

The empress looked at the sudden change with her brows slightly frowned, not knowing what had happened.

At the same time, many vendors selling goods on both sides of the street seemed to look at the empress inadvertently.

In fact, if you observe these vendors carefully, you can find it.

Although they were wearing patched coarse linen clothes.

But there was a layer of black clothing at their collars and cuffs to a greater or lesser extent.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!"

In the blink of an eye, more than ten breaths of time passed.

The sound of horse hooves coming from afar became more and more rapid, and dozens of aggressive cavalrymen wearing white armor finally appeared in Xia Yun's sight.

And at the front of dozens of white-armored cavalrymen, the leader’s white armor was engraved with a layer of light golden patterns.

"Shut up!"

Dozens of white-armored cavalrymen arrived at the gate of Fenglai Inn. Led by the leader, they all pulled the reins and dismounted.

"Who is Xia Yun from Zhejiang?"

The leader dismounted, holding a horsewhip, frowning, and swept his fierce eyes over the people in front of the gate.

At this moment, everyone on the street looked towards Fenglai Inn.

Many of them showed a look of regret on their faces.

As for Xia Yun, when dozens of armored cavalrymen arrived, he didn't even look at them.

He was calling two inn waiters to take Chen Ming, who was already drunk and unconscious, to a room in the inn to rest.

When the white-armored cavalry arrived, the female official shifted her gaze to the empress, with a hint of doubt in her pupils.

The empress slowly shook her head and just looked at Xia Yun with interest, curious about what he would do next.

"Who is Xia Yun from Zhejiang? Let him come out to see me immediately! Otherwise, I will tear down this inn immediately!"

The leader among the white-armored cavalry spoke again.

But this time, he called himself the King, and his words were full of blatant threats.

Hearing the voice, the innkeeper hurried out of the door and came to meet the leader.

"Sir, you are so magnanimous. My shop is just open to welcome customers. If you demolish the shop, my family will not be able to survive."

The innkeeper begged for mercy as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, after the innkeeper finished speaking, not only did he fail to win any sympathy, but he was knocked to the ground on the spot by a white-armored knight next to the leader.

"Get out of here, you ignorant fool!"

The knight in white armor drew the long sword from his waist and held it across the innkeeper's head.

If the innkeeper made another sound, the long knife would chop off his head.

Seeing this, Xia Yun's eyes instantly turned cold.

Obviously, this group of uninvited guests are enemies rather than friends.

Xia Yun then gave a look to Chong Heihu beside him.

Hei Hu understood what he meant.

But the next moment, Chong Heihu suddenly pushed the ground with his right leg, and the whole person jumped out from where he was.

In an instant, Chong Heihu's figure appeared in front of the knight with drawn sword.

The white-armored knight's expression changed immediately.
