I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Qin Ningtian whispered in his ear, "Your young master is my cousin."

Xiao Yudong was stunned again. One second he was a criminal, the next he was a prefect, and the Prince of Nan's cousin was helping him.

Qin Ningtian added, "First, arrange things for your son. Then, go to the No. 1 Tianzi Inn at Wanlong Post Station tonight. His Excellency will help you calm your nerves. He's traveling incognito."

Xiao Yudong finally came to his senses: I'm so lucky, I actually ran into the Seventh Prince.

Qin Ningtian left, and Ah San, who had already unchained himself, ran over.

“Ah San, the clerk of Jining Prefecture, pays his respects to the Prefect.”

The Indian man knelt down and loudly prostrated himself in worship, which awakened the officials in the hall, and they all knelt down in worship as well.

Prefect Liu Gongwu, a close associate of the Duan family, hesitated for a moment before kneeling down to pay his respects.

While the seventh prince, Lingjiang King Long Yingshan, was making an incognito tour of the Jiyuan region, the ninth prince, Long Bin, also entered Ruxu City on the banks of the Jiupai River incognito.

Although Ruxu is a market town, it has a population of over 10,000. There are 20,000 border guards stationed at the ferry crossing on the river outside the town and at Tanggou in the southwest, also known as the Wuwei Army.

Although Ruxuji is not as large as Lishuicheng, its town development is relatively good.

The streets are crisscrossed, with narrow and long cobblestone pavements.

The town has hundreds of shops, snack stalls, pharmacies, timber shops, inns, bathhouses, and various workshops.

The town's trade was very active, especially the snack shops, inns, and pharmacies, which were booming. This was related to the presence of troops stationed in the area and the fact that it was a frontier market.

In particular, the "Ruxu Kapok Flower" is renowned throughout the world, with its snow-white blossoms, fine fibers, and soft texture, making it a top-quality Kapok flower.

Ruxu is bordered by the Jiupai River to the east, facing the Dongjiang Kingdom across the river; it borders Lishui Prefecture to the north, Juhan City to the west, and the Wu Kingdom to the southwest and south.

This place is a strategic location of the Great Xia Kingdom, possessing a defense line facing enemies on two sides.

That's why 20,000 Wuwu soldiers were stationed here.

Prince Longbin of the South came here incognito, mainly to conduct an on-site inspection of the local border defenses and agricultural production.

Another important reason is that he discovered from the deeply hidden memories of the deceased Long Bin that the deceased had another home in Ruxu.

The reason this family exists is that the deceased wanted to remember his mother, so he changed his name to Ning Long and wanted to create a family that belonged to his mother. He took his mother's title, Ning, as his surname.

From this, we can easily see how well the dead could disguise themselves when they were alive.

The seemingly useless man, whom everyone jokingly calls a good-for-nothing, is secretly not only a martial arts master, but also the fearsome Tian Sha Kuang Long, whom no one in the martial arts world dares to challenge; more than 3,000 miles outside the capital, he also owns the Ning family in Ruxu.

Long Bin unlocked the dead ghost's sealed memories. The carriage traveled all the way across the vast Ruhe Plain. Long Bin's first task was to investigate the people's livelihood. Recalling the economic conditions and agricultural production here in his previous life, he learned that the land here was formed by the accumulation of river sand produced by the Jiupai River during its migration over thousands of years. It was sandy soil, yet fertile.

In its previous life, Ruxu cotton was renowned worldwide, and this area is suitable for growing dryland crops such as cotton and wheat.

Of course, the western part of Nyusu is also suitable for rice cultivation.

The cotton in the world today is all kapok, which can only be used as filling for cotton clothes and quilts for warmth, and is not suitable for weaving cloth.

Long Bin stopped the carriage and got off, and Lü Yong and the others also dismounted.

"Grand Master Long," Long Bin called to Lü Yong and asked, "Have the wheat varieties here been improved?"

"Your Majesty, the Jiangfang Army has already planted 1,300 mu of land on a trial basis, and the harvest is much higher than that of the hilly areas of Lishui."

"We are promoting autumn sowing across the board this year, and the planting of early rice has already begun in the Tanggou area."

Long Bin had great trust in Lü Yong's abilities and work style, and said happily, "Tomorrow afternoon we will go to Tanggou to check on the rice growth."

Back in the carriage, Long Bin entered the Time Travel System Shop.

Because everything he has done this year has been positive, beneficial to the country and the people, especially in the field of medicine, he has not only treated hundreds of critically ill patients himself, but also personally taught Zhengyang acupuncture techniques to dozens of doctors. This has greatly increased his points in the Transcendent Mall, which are now as high as 800,000.

He used 500,000 points to exchange for 50 shi of cotton seeds from his previous life, Cotton Farmer No. 18.

Around noon, they arrived at the guest post station in Ruxu City.

After a short rest and a meal, they headed straight for the Ning residence of the dead Long Bin.

Arriving at the unremarkable gate of the Ning residence, Long Bin sincerely praised the dead man as indeed a talented individual.

Although the courtyard is large, it is not luxurious, which is in line with his low-key style.

"You rascal, I've come to the Ning residence to take over this household for you."

Long Bin murmured, "Don't worry, I will definitely make the Ning family prosperous. Just don't blame me for sleeping with your woman. You know I'm not a womanizer."

As he stared blankly at the quiet Ning residence, a shout came from behind: "Make way, all of you make way!"

"Hey big guy, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

With a shout, a leather whip lashed out from behind Long Bin.

Startled, Long Bin stepped aside.

With a swish, the whip grazed past him.

The burly man with the whip roared, "Are you blind? How dare you block Master Wang's way?"

“Master Wang?” Long Bin glared at him with his tiger-like eyes.

"What are you glaring at me for?" The whip-wielder lashed out again.

The thick leather whip came whistling through the air, drawing gasps and boos from many onlookers, who couldn't help but feel sorry for the young man.

"Poor child, why did you have to follow Wang Laohu's path of all people?"

"Judging from his dazed look, he must be from the countryside."

"It's over, my life is in danger."

Amidst the gasps of surprise, Long Bin suddenly grabbed the whip with his right hand.

The burly man wielding the whip was named Xiao Kui. His arms possessed immense strength, and he was one of the four retainers kept by Master Wang. Known in the martial arts world as the "Wraith Whip," he had killed at least eighty, if not a hundred, martial arts masters with his whip. Almost all of them died or were seriously injured.

Today, the Soul-Destroying Whip has failed.

Xiao Kui was somewhat stunned to see that the other party had caught the whip with its immense force with his bare hands.

Xiao Kui possesses the skill of a third-grade master, and his whip, when lashed out in a fit of rage, has the power to split mountains and cleave rocks. How could this kid possibly catch the whip so easily?

Just as Xiao Kui was stunned, he was suddenly sent flying to the corner of the opposite wall.

Long Bin's hand trembled, and the leather whip, which was about three feet and two inches long, shattered into pieces.

"what……?"

"So you're a master?"

The onlookers gasped in surprise, and Xiao Kui and his more than one hundred bodyguards were also stunned.

Xiao Kui struggled to his feet, ignoring the blood filling his mouth, and cried out urgently, "Protect the master! He's an assassin!"

"Surround him and take him down!"

Suddenly, nearly a hundred bodyguards in black robes rushed over and surrounded Long Bin.

At this moment, Master Wang walked over, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, looking very smug.

Long Bin ignored the people surrounding him and instead glanced at the imposing Master Wang.

Long Bin frowned: "Why does this person look so familiar?"
