As soon as Yuan Xiang came out, she was like a bird released from a cage, chirping non-stop, looking here and there, buying things. Guan Ning and Li Zhibao kept following behind her, giving her money and protecting her the whole time, for fear that this girl would run away if they were not careful.

"It's so prosperous. Ling County is smaller but feels more stable than the capital." Guan Ning sighed.

Li Zhibao immediately smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, Brother Ning, you hit the nail on the head. I came to Ling County when I was five years old. This is my father's fiefdom and is directly governed by my father."

"My father was different from those hypocritical people like Zheng Yuan. He didn't like to exploit the people, so he issued a series of rules in Ling County. No one was allowed to force purchases or sales, and no one was allowed to bully workers. This is what led to the peace in Ling County today."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was stunned. If that were the case, King Ping was truly a rare talent among the powerful people in ancient times.

"This is also one of the reasons why my father and the Zheng family are incompatible. My father is kind and righteous and welcomes talents, while the Zheng family is oppressive. Unfortunately, my father's fiefdom is only Ling County, and he has no control over other places."

"Once we cross the line, it will cause dissatisfaction from His Majesty and some powerful people. So in places like Kufu Mountain, my father can't do anything to help." He sighed.

Guan Ning nodded: "Your Highness Prince Ping has done a great job."

"If the whole world is black, then whiteness naturally becomes a kind of original sin."

"You will inherit your father's throne in the future. You must study hard, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid being excluded and go with the flow."

Li Zhibao stopped on the street, his eyes wide with shock: "Brother Guan, how come what you said is exactly the same as what my father said?"

"Ah? Is that so? Hahaha." Guan Ning laughed.

"I just speak from my heart."

Li Zhibao was filled with admiration and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ning, I think you should stay here and help father and me. How about that?"

"I promise to give you everything you want!"

Guan Ning didn't think twice and was about to refuse the question when suddenly he was startled and looked around with his eyes wide open.

"Where's Yuan Xiang?"

When these words were spoken, Li Zhibao was shocked and looked around quickly. There were crowds of people around him, but there was no sign of Yuan Xiang.

"What about people?"

"did you see it?"

All his men turned pale, and seemed to have lost him.

"A bunch of trash!" Li Zhibao cursed, feeling terrible.

"Don't worry, they might have been separated by the crowd. Let's scatter and look for them." Guan Ning frowned but did not lose his composure.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, everyone dispersed and searched in different directions.

"Auntie, did you see a girl about eighteen years old, this tall?"

"Brother, did you see a tall and beautiful woman just now?"

"She was holding a candied haws..."

Guan Ning kept asking questions, but all the passers-by shook their heads at him, which made him a little annoyed. Could it be that Yuan Xiang, that problematic girl, had tricked him?

Once it comes out, it disappears!

The hasty search lasted for a cup of tea. Guan Ning chased for three streets but still couldn't find the person. He became a little anxious and turned back, planning to let Li Zhibao notify the people in the palace to put the city gates under martial law first.

But when they returned to the original place, Li Zhibao and others had disappeared.

Just as he was getting anxious, people passing by were talking about it: "There's a fight going on over there."

"so many people!"

"Hiss, you didn't see it. He was really cruel. His head was broken and bleeding."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was startled and chased after him without hesitation: "Make way, make way!"

In an alley in the downtown area of ​​Lingjun.

Bang bang bang!

After a series of loud noises, the fight ended.

A man in black clothes and a conical hat, extremely ugly, with a knife on his waist and calluses on his hands, looked like a gangster.

He lifted Li Zhibao's hair with one hand and said, "Boy, you like to meddle in other people's business, don't you?"

"I'm telling you straight, I've got this woman!" He pointed his thumb back. It was Yuan Xiang, who was being held hostage by several gangsters and was struggling.
