In the secret room of Lu's house in the south of Luocheng, Ziying waited for a long time without receiving a reply, so he guessed that the Saker Falcon who delivered the message was being targeted.

While she was feeling thankful that she didn't reveal her location in the letter, she rolled her eyes at Liu Zhiheng and the others.

"You are all already old, yet you still refuse to listen to advice. If you had listened to me earlier and left Luocheng earlier, Fang Quan, Xiao He, and I wouldn't have to stay here with you."

Fang Quan and Xiao He are also secret guards of Prince Lin's Mansion in the capital.

After hearing Ziying's words, Fang Quan and Xiao He nodded at first, and then complained with some dissatisfaction.

"That's right. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to be so restrained. We would have accompanied Qinglan, Cheng Xing and the others to the city gate and wait for the opportunity to act."

"You still blame us for forcibly taking you away. If we hadn't taken you away, you would have to follow Prime Minister Wei, Prince Yan and others to block the city wall."

"Emperor Zhaowen is a worthless person, but my king... the emperor is kind and benevolent. Emperor Zhaowen uses you to threaten the emperor, and he always succeeds."

"Luckily, your family members aren't as stubborn as you guys. They hid as soon as we told them. Otherwise, we would have been in a lot of trouble."

The three of them talked back and forth, causing the six ministers of state left behind by Emperor Huiren before his death - Liu Zhiheng, Song Wuming, Wang Wenxuan, Li Jiangnan, Chu Shinan, and Xue Yanling - to all blush.

Each of them can be regarded as Li Zhaoying's half-teacher, and they know Li Zhaoying very well.

If Emperor Zhaowen really tied them to the city wall to threaten Li Zhaoying like Lin Pingyuan did, the child would definitely be afraid to act rashly.

But when Ziying came to them and wanted to send them out of the city, they refused to believe that the successor chosen by the late emperor would really do such a cruel thing.

Until today, Ziying received news that even the royal family members were arrested and taken to the South City Gate.

Li Zhaoying had been their chosen future emperor since childhood, but Emperor Huiren chose Prince An instead.

The six of them also became regents.

Even for the sake of the late emperor, they suppressed all their dissatisfaction and wanted to do their best to assist Emperor Zhaowen.

However, as soon as Emperor Zhaowen ascended the throne, he abolished the open-air schools.

Liu Zhiheng and others became disheartened and retired one after another.

But although they have withdrawn from the court, their minds are still on the court.

So many things have happened in the past few years. They have felt wronged and cried bitterly for that child, but they still cannot accept the thought of Ji Yang's independence.

Dayu is the Dayu that they have spent their entire lives working hard to maintain.

"Lin...Will Emperor Ji Lin turn the entire Dayu into the Northern Ji Kingdom?"

Liu Zhiheng's voice trembled a little as he asked the question that the other five people wanted to ask.

Ziying shook her head. "Beiji is Beiji, and Dayu is Dayu. Prince Qing wanted to merge Yucheng into Beiji, but the Emperor refused. If Lin Pingyuan hadn't done something so outrageous, even Pingyao Prefecture wouldn't have been incorporated into Beiji."

Liu Zhiheng and others felt a little relieved, but they still felt sad when they thought about Jiyang and Pingyao Prefecture being divided up.

"The prince said that Dayu was acquired by the ancestors of the Li family over four hundred years ago at the cost of nearly wiping out their bloodline, and he doesn't want Dayu to fall apart. When Jiyang became independent, he said that he would capture Dongling to supply Dayu in the future."

Wang Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and the others' eyes stopped red and their lips stopped trembling.

"Aventurine?"

Dongling is larger than two Jiyangs, has a good climate and fertile land. If the emperor of Dongling had not been such a bad person and was always thinking about attacking Dayu, the people of Dongling would not have had a bad life.

If Dayu can exchange Jiyang and Pingyao Prefecture for Dongling Kingdom, it will not be a loss.

Liu Zhiheng was still a little worried: "Emperor Yuanzong and Emperor Yunjing both made a rule that Dayu must not attack the enemy country first.

This is different from fighting the Northern Rong. The Northern Rong attacked Prince Chen first, so the Crown Prince took action. The Dongling Kingdom has not invaded Dayu in over a year."

Ziying chuckled: "So you won't seek revenge for the Dongling army's massacre of the people of Dayu in Minzhou?"

Liu Zhiheng was stunned by the question and then cursed Emperor Zhaowen in his heart.

If Li Zhaocai had not replaced Gao Siwei, how could Minzhou Prefecture have suffered such a catastrophe?

Ziying didn't say anything else. After making some arrangements with Xiao He and the others, she left...

At this time, after Lu Yanyan and his party got the things from Lu Ling in Guanzhong Prefecture, they arrived at Zhengcheng via Shangyang Prefecture and Lujiang Prefecture, and met with Yan Erhu and Lin Shan who came from Yucheng.

Yucheng's marinade processing factory, winery, Mingxianglou and food court have been renovated and can open at any time.

Yan Erhu and Lin Shan set out from Jiyang with Li Jixin, but they were responsible for the site selection and decoration of the shop and workshop, so they separated from Li Jixin in Anling Prefecture.

Lu Yanyan felt a little sorry when he saw the two people who had lost a lot of weight.

These days, the Han family and the Lu family have been busy seeking revenge in Luocheng, and the businesses of both families have been handed over to Yan Dahu and his men.

Yan Erhu scratched his head and said, "Madam, we are not tired, but after the business in Zhengcheng's shop is done, you have to give Brother Linshan a long vacation, hehe."

Lu Yanyan covered her mouth and laughed. Both of them now have girls they like. She has met them and they are both very good girls.

"Don't worry, I'll give you two a wedding leave."

The word "marriage leave" made Yan Erhu and his partner blush slightly.

"By the way, Madam, we met a merchant named Ji in Yucheng. He asked if we were the same company as Mingxianglou in the capital. After Brother Linshan and I talked to him, we found out that he was the Ji boss you mentioned."

"Mr. Ji?" Lu Youtian looked a little excited.

Lu Yanyan and Lu Fugui also felt a little emotional.

Mingxianglou and Meishifang in Luocheng City were originally the shops of Mr. Ji's family.

Originally, Lu Youtian wanted to cooperate with Ji Dongjia, but unfortunately Minzhou Prefecture was captured by the Dongling Army, and most of Ji Dongjia's family members died.

Mr. Ji sold the shop to Lu Youtian and took his family to Yucheng.

In the past two years, Lu Youtian often thought of Ji Dongjia, and now he finally heard news about him again.

"Is Brother Ji okay now?"

Yan Erhu had never met Ji Dongjia, but he knew that Ji Dongjia and Lu Youtian admired each other.

"Mr. Ji opened a restaurant in Yucheng, and business is very good. The best-selling items are hot pot and Jiyang liquor.

When Ji Dongjia learned that the hot pot base and Jiyang liquor were both owned by the Han and Lu families, he was very happy for Lord Lu. He asked me to tell Lord Lu that he was living well in Yucheng.

Lu Youtian nodded: "That's good, that's good."

Yan Erhu and Lin Shan looked at each other and their expressions became solemn.

"My Lord, Madam, and Prince, we heard Mr. Ji mention an old story that we found a little strange."

"What old story?" Lu Yanyan and Lu Fugui asked in unison.

"Mr. Ji said that Princess An Ning had returned to Luo City before Emperor Huiren passed away."

Since Princess An Ning got married, she went to Yuezhou Prefecture. She has been to Jiyang and Yucheng many times, but she has never returned to Luocheng.

Until five years ago, Emperor Huiren vomited blood in the court because Prince Lin was seriously injured, and then fell ill and could not get up.

Princess An Ning returned to Beijing to visit her seriously ill father eighteen years after leaving Luo City.

This is no secret. It is said that Princess An Ning fell seriously ill after leaving Luocheng.

But Yan Erhu suddenly said this, there must be something wrong...
