main hall.

Gao Chen looked at the brothers of the Zhao family: "The two young masters have worked so hard to come to our Lingxi County. What's the matter?"

Zhao Yiyang clasped his fists and said: "Seventh brother hasn't returned home for a long time. Grandmother was very worried, and ordered me and elder brother to search for it. We see people alive, but dead bodies. Here is a portrait of my younger brother. If the eunuch can help you find it, I will be very grateful."

The subordinates presented the portrait.

Zhao Yiyang took it, and stepped forward respectfully.Gao Chen picked up the portrait and unfolded it, took a look at it and put it away.

"Since the founding of my country, I have never seen this person." He put the portrait on the case table and never paid attention to it. place."

Seeing that Gao Chen didn't care about this matter, Zhao Yilan knew there was nothing to ask.

Zhao Yiyang smiled: "I have to look for it."

"The two young masters are determined, and I am not an unreasonable person." Gao Chen said generously, "I allow you to move around as you please."

The brothers bowed their hands.

Zhao Yiyang has a certain degree of advance and retreat: "Thank you, Lord Prefect. We are grateful and will follow the rules."

"Very good, very good." Gao Chen laughed loudly, "I still have official duties to attend, so I shouldn't stay for long. Treat your guests well."

"Yes." Master and Madam saluted.

Gao Chen nodded in satisfaction and led the people away.The master and wife send it off respectfully.Then call the butler to clean up the room.

The two brothers of the Zhao family went to the backyard with the butler, and saw Zhu Qinghong and the three of them in the gazebo.

The butler bowed and stepped back.

The brothers walked over.Zhao Yiyang's eyes fell on Su Rui: "Thank you Miss Su."

There are only three stone benches in the pavilion.It is impossible for Yan Mi to get Zhu Qinghong and Su Rui up unless the skin is itchy.

Standing up politely, Yan Mi walked away and stood with his back against the pillar.A stool, neither of the two brothers can sit comfortably, they can only stand.

Su Rui was eating cakes: "Uncle is the prefect. He promised to help, and there should be news soon. If you really want to thank me, how about going to the restaurant for a drink tomorrow? I heard that there is a good wine brewed in the building, which is suitable for women. I will soon I want to try it."

Zhu Qinghong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his lips: "I won't go. I'm tired from traveling and traveling, and I feel uncomfortable."

"Sister won't go? What a pity." Su Rui turned her head and looked at Yan Mi with a smile, "Brother Mi is going?"

"Go, of course." Yan Mi immediately stood up straight.Not to mention restaurants, you have to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

"We're new here, so we're familiar with the environment." Zhao Yilan patted Zhao Yiyang's shoulder, "Young lady."

Zhao Yiyang reluctantly nodded.

Su Rui narrowed her eyes with a smile: "It's a good day to rest today. See you tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhao Yiyang smiled heartily, and left with his brother.Zhu Qinghong turned his hands and took out a plate of grapes, put one on the table and ate one.

Seeing the grapes, Yan Mi's eyes lit up.

He immediately sat back and ate one before talking.

Sweet, really sweet, delicious!
Su Rui peeled the grape skins slowly: "I didn't intend to deceive feelings. It's him who is passionate."

"It can be seen." Zhu Qinghong's lips curled up slightly, "It was love at first sight. A man, you can see a beautiful face at a glance."

Yan Mi chewed for a while.

He glanced at this and then at that, trying to shrink his neck to reduce the sense of presence.

"Sister, be careful too." Su Rui threw the peeled grapes into her mouth, "That Zhao Yilan is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhu Qinghong glanced at the place where the two brothers left, and smiled meaningfully: "We'll wait and see."

A city of people acting, true and false.They want to distinguish, easier said than done.She is the chess player.

The next day.

Su Rui got into the carriage with Yan Mi's support.The Zhao family brothers and Yan Mi followed the car on horseback and set off to the restaurant.

The restaurant is three stories high, with long lanterns hanging in front of the door.The shop waiter greeted customers at the door with a smile all over his face.

There are no empty seats in the building, and the business is very good.The carriage stops, Yan Mi dismounts to help Su Rui.A group of people entered the restaurant.The waiter went up to meet them and took them to the second floor.

Just on the second floor, a group of people were about to leave.

Yan Mi saluted first: "Master Bai, Second Brother."

Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhen led the way, followed by several officials.Bai Shifeng smiled: "It's a coincidence that I ran into you."

"Second Brother, Lord Bai." Su Rui briefly introduced, "They are Mr. Zhao. They came to drink with me."

"We still have something important to do, you guys have a good drink." Yan Zhen called the shop waiter, "Their expenses will be charged to my account."

The waiter hurriedly said yes.

Without further words, Yan Zhen and Bai Shifeng took people downstairs and left.Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately went into the private room: "I was scared to death. I thought the second brother was going to train us again. I didn't expect to treat us."

After entering the private room, Yan Mi orders food and drinks.

The Zhao family brothers sat down.Zhao Yiyang asked curiously: "Are they officials from the court?"

"Yes." Su Rui poured tea, "Bai Shifeng Lord Bai, the lord of the city, I am the servant of the Ministry of officials. The other is the second brother of Brother Mi, and I am the servant of the Ministry of Industry. They came here together, so you can see this." How good is the wine at home. Come up, you have a good taste. "

Zhao Yiyang and Zhao Yilan looked at each other calmly.Su Rui smiled and pretended not to see it.

What action will they take?

In the building, everyone drank happily.

The tea house opposite the restaurant.Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhen walked into the private room: "Participate, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qinghong wears a green skirt, and has pear blossom-style Bu Yao in her hair.She put down her teacup: "They will find out about your whereabouts."

Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhen listened carefully to the training.

Yingcai ordered tea gracefully beside her.

Gao Chen respectfully reported: "When we arrived at the restaurant, the Zhao family brothers didn't pay much attention to the blacksmith shop and cloth shop even though they visited them. Only the grain shop caught their attention, and they asked patiently."

Is it really food?Zhu Qinghong smiled and said, "Yan Zhen, you have to supervise the construction of water trucks on the side of the cultivated land."

"Yes." Yan Zhen replied.

It is true to build waterwheels to better irrigate farmland.It is also true to attract the attention of the Zhao family brothers. Only when there is a bargaining chip can the transaction be carried out.However, the chance encounter is false, everything is just a plan.Who can see through the interlocking traps?
After leaving the restaurant, the Zhao brothers really ordered someone to inquire about Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhen's movements.

Know where the cultivated land is.

Plump grains, vegetables never seen before.It was hard not to be moved by the brothers.

They quietly went to the cultivated land to check.

Looking from a distance, there are patches of green rice.The tassels hanging from the rice bowed his head.

There are fresh and tender cucumbers, ruddy tomatoes, and jade-like cabbages in the vegetable garden... Although there are a few soldiers on duty all around, the people are not forbidden to approach.

On the contrary, many people like to stroll over after eating and drinking.Seeing the fruitful results, I feel very at ease in my heart.

Long Yuan saw Yan Zhen and others busy.

Build waterwheels, irrigate fields, yield...

The Zhao family brothers looked at each other and left quietly.

Food is the foundation of a city.

They went back into the house and closed the door.Zhao Yiyang said anxiously: "This city does not mainly produce food."

It does not mainly produce food, but the output is already considerable.What does Tianchong City, which is rumored to be in charge of agriculture, look like?

Zhao Yilan knocked on the table with his fingers: "The seventh brother must have appeared nearby. The connection between the perception objects cannot be wrong."

Sitting down slowly, Zhao Yiyang frowned: "The prefect said he had never seen him. If it was a lie, the seventh brother would be in danger. If it wasn't for the lie, it would not be optimistic. He was spoiled by his grandmother and acted like a slave trader who sold slaves everywhere. Earn a few bucks."

"Who makes the seventh brother look the most like grandfather." Zhao Yilan frowned, "Grandmother naturally loves him, and indulges him."

"Grandmother asked us to look for it separately. It is clear that the perception signaled the seventh brother to come here." Zhao Yiyang hammered the table, "The elder brother just said that there is a case. He is a smart person, so let's look elsewhere first. Let us have no choice but to come here Here."

"Seventh Brother has been away for more than a year, whether we find it or not, it is not a good thing for us." Zhao Yilan poured two cups of tea, "I think Seventh Brother and the people who accompanied him are gone. We want to get away this time. , only to offer something important.”

Holding the teacup, Zhao Yiyang raised his eyes: "Food. There are countless grains. Only then can we solve our predicament when we go back."

"That's right." Zhao Yilan put down the teacup, "You and I have already seen the attitude of the eunuch. They don't necessarily pay attention to Lord Bai and Lord Yan directly. Fourth brother, I know what you want. But we have no choice. Miss Su can help us Make a big deal."

Zhao Yiyang was silent, the tea he drank was bitter and lingering on his tongue.

He held the cup tightly: "I don't want to hurt her."

"There are not many soldiers in the city, and there is no barracks." Zhao Yilan's eyes were deep. "The priest who opened his defense may be very strong, but one person is hard to beat a thousand troops. Grandma has been recruiting soldiers. If you know that there is such a place with sufficient food, what do you think?" What will she do?"

"Mie..." Zhao Yiyang lowered his eyes, as if seeing Su Rui's sadness dissipating.

After the country is destroyed, how can a woman survive?
"Of course, the information we inquired cannot be trusted." Zhao Yilan added tea, "You first make friends with Miss Su and make a deal. After you go back, find a way to hold grandmother back and let her hand over the matter of gathering the Yunhong Dynasty to us. Becoming a vassal is also a way.”

Subjects...their breadbasket.

Zhao Yiyang raised his eyes: "Third Brother, is this the best result we can achieve?"

Zhao Yilan nodded: "You know the temperament of grandma very well. Slave merchants come over and over again, sending more people every time. The war is about to start. The Dong family and the Lu family agreed to unite to deal with foreign enemies. The friend who was looking at us Frost Country."

The two brothers are from the Zhao family of Yingling Kingdom.There is no emperor in Yingling Kingdom, and the three great aristocratic families govern it together.

The Zhao family, the Dong family, and the Lu family are on equal footing.

Check and balance each other, dislike each other.For several years, Youshuang Kingdom, which faces Yingling Kingdom, has been staring at it.

There used to be a deal between the two countries, you buy my beasts, and I buy your specialties.

Cooperate with each other to resist the demons together.

Then conflict broke out and the two countries broke up.The transaction contract was torn up, and wars continued throughout the year.

The deeper the feud between the two sides, the deeper they decided to fight to the end.Either you annex me, or I annex you, there is no third way to go.Some of them are very special.

slave trader.

They do business with both countries in peace.

After all, war needs people.The two countries bought slaves and used them as cannon fodder on the battlefield.There were very few casualties in the country, and it was not painful at all.Slave traders wandered between the two sides, sending out appropriate information to stimulate the two countries to continue the war.

Perhaps the two parties had already seen the intentions of the slave merchants.But things have come to this, and they can't stop.

If one side stops, it will only be attacked and annexed by the other side.Even if you insist on it, both sides have to support it.

The war cannot be stopped.
