(I had to sleep in on the weekend morning, so I came late, haha, here are two chapters today)...

"So, listen to me, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but it's too dangerous to go here."

"That's even more important for me, I. I must stay behind you all the time." Seeing Shao Yan's reluctant expression, Yunyun pouted and continued, "Your Majesty said it nicely, I am a minister."

The safety of my concubine is actually to get rid of the burden of my concubine. In the eyes of the emperor, my concubine is now a useless person who can't do anything. Instead of embarrassing the emperor, I might as well die." After saying this, he lay down on the table.

cried loudly

This girl either didn't cry or cried endlessly. Shao Yan was made to laugh and cry, so he reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay, stop crying, I promise you." He didn't mean to dislike anyone.

, but this operation is indeed a bit risky, and even he himself is not completely sure.

Yunyun suddenly broke down in tears and smiled: "I would like to thank you for your kindness." As he said this, he bent down and wanted to salute the emperor.

Shao Yan knew that her legs and feet were inconvenient, so he quickly helped her sit on the chair again. Seeing that the girl's face kept smiling, as beautiful as the first blooming flowers in spring, Shao Yan couldn't help but scratch her rosy face with his fingers.

With a smile on his face, he said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid of you, why don't you do it?"

Yun Yun burst into laughter, with a blush on her face. Then, the two of them discussed the specific matters for tomorrow, and did not go back to bed until midnight...

The next morning, Shao Yan and Yunyun dressed up as a folk couple and rode a maroon war horse towards Changqing City. Chang Yixiao and two other soldiers disguised themselves as waiters and followed behind with a two-wheeled wooden cart.

Behind the car, I saw some weeds piled up on the car, and several animal skins hanging on the side, including wolf skins, tiger skins, leopard skins, etc.

The reason why Shao Yan brought Chang Yixiao with him this time was firstly because he felt that the kid's brain was flexible enough, and secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to train him. Chang Yixiao lived up to expectations. Every time he encountered Nanliang soldiers interrogating him along the way,

He would make up some lies according to circumstances and hide them. Shao Yan saw this and was very happy in his heart.

Changqing City is the largest city in the rear of Donglin Kingdom. It runs through six major areas in the north and south. There are a total of seven streets in the city. The longest street is nearly ten miles away, and the shortest is four or five miles away. It has a population of up to 3 million, which is considered

The most densely populated place in the vicinity

As we all know, in the past few years, under the governance of the former emperor and the new emperor, the economy of Changqing City has been greatly improved compared to before. The people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and there is an atmosphere of prosperity everywhere. However, since it was occupied by the Nanliang army

, Jin Dingguo and his men preyed on the people everywhere and roamed the countryside. Therefore, the air here became very cold and terrifying. The people were all in danger. Some could not bear the exploitation of Liang Jun, so they fled the city overnight. Fortunately, they escaped smoothly.

In the city, those who were unlucky became the dead souls of Nanliang soldiers.

Shao Yan and others walked on the street and saw that the city gate was surrounded by three-step, one-post, five-step and one-post guard posts. The defense was quite tight, and not even a fly could fly in. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and most of the inns and shops were there.

Closed for business, there are a few small stalls occasionally on the roadside, but as soon as patrol soldiers appear, they quickly step aside, otherwise they may be extorted by Nanliang soldiers.

Shao Yan walked a few steps and then stopped. He looked up at the tall tower and thought to himself, as an emperor, he should have both civil and military skills, but I will only work hard on 'civilian skills', but ignore the 'martial arts' aspect.

That's why Donglin Kingdom's military strength is so empty. If not for this, our army would definitely not be retreating, and Liang Jun would not be able to enter the city so smoothly. It seems that I will have to change the direction of governance in the future. Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard from the front

A shouting voice rang out

"What are you doing? Do you still understand the rules? Get off your horse quickly." A group of Liang soldiers guarding the city stepped forward and blocked the way of Shao Yan and others. A leader with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with an angry look.

Shao Yan pretended not to hear and continued to drive his horse forward as if nothing was happening. The leader became angry and ordered his men to surround them. Faced with the scene of swords and swords in front of him, Shao Yan didn't take it to heart at all.

Then he clenched his fists to prevent any unexpected events

Shao Yan first turned around and winked at Chang Yixiao, signaling them not to act rashly. Then he dismounted calmly, stepped forward and raised his hands to the sullen-faced leader: "Master, please calm down.

We are all honest businessmen, and we hope you can be accommodating."

"Businessmen?" The leader glanced at him and said coldly: "Now that the war is in chaos, it's too late for everyone to escape, so how can you still think about making money? I don't think you guys are businessmen, but more like Donglin Kingdom

's spy"

Will this guy recognize him today? Shao Yan took a breath of cold air, and Yun Yun, Chang Yixiao and others behind him also sweated. Unexpectedly, the leader suddenly rushed towards Yun Yun on horseback and shouted loudly.

He shouted: "Why don't you dismount?"

"I -" Just when Yunyun was about to explain, Shao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "Please forgive me, military master. I will tell you the truth. I knew a little about martial arts in my early years, but I accidentally broke my leg when I went hunting in the mountains.

I broke it off and never stood up again. It’s been more than two years.”

Seeing the disdain on the leader's face, Shao Yan sighed and said: "Well, these days are a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid disasters. Maybe one day a natural disaster or a man-made disaster will befall you. I want to heal my humble wife."

I visited many famous doctors for my leg and spent almost all my savings, but in the end it was of no avail. In desperation, I had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere and ran a skin business, and my life was better."

"That's all, since your wife and children have legs problems, then just sit down." The leader was not interested in his 'complaints'. When he heard 'animal skin', his expression changed obviously, and he said strangely: "

You said you resell animal skins, is this true?"

"Everything is true," Shao Yan nodded honestly.

The leader did not ask any more questions, but went around behind Shao Yan. He saw that there were indeed several animal skins hanging on the wooden cart, but what made him most curious were the straws, so he used a knife to separate the straws and found that underneath

Covered with the carcasses of several skinned beasts, he smiled at Chang Yi and asked, "What kind of prey are these?"

Chang Yixiao said respectfully: "Returning to the military master, there are hares, tigers, giraffes, leopards, and half a lion cub here."

"Oh, there are so many rare and exotic animals?" Seeing that Chang Yixiao was young, the leader didn't look like he was lying. He said angrily: "Where did you get these animals?"

"I don't know about this little one. You'd better ask our shopkeeper," Chang Yi said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he was deliberately showing off, the leader rolled his eyes at him. As he spoke, Shao Yan came over respectfully and said with a forced smile: "Master, these prey were hunted by a friend of mine from the nearby Tiger Mountain."

The leader of "Nonsense" glared and said angrily: "General Tu was hunting in Tiger Mountain two days ago. Why did he only catch some hares but not so many wild beasts?"

"This -" Grandma, if I had known this, I should have ambushed there two days ago and shot Tu An to death. Shao Yan shook his head and said in embarrassment: "Master, it's not that I refuse to say anything.

You also know that we are in the animal skin business, so naturally we choose a place with the most animals, such as Changqing City-"

"You are so presumptuous!" The leader quickly reacted and thought to himself, aren't you just calling us beasts in a roundabout way?

Yunyun and others almost laughed out loud. Shao Yan suppressed his laughter and explained: "Master Jun, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that these are business secrets between me and my friends. One of us is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell."

"Everyone takes what he needs. If a third person finds out, our jobs will not be saved."

"You guys hid all these rare and exotic beasts on purpose, right?" Before Shao Yan could answer, the leader seemed to have something in mind and said, "No wonder the Marshal didn't even see half of the big beasts when he slaughtered him last time.

, it turns out it was you who did it.”

Shao Yan chuckled: "How can it be possible? People have masters, and beasts have kings. Wherever General Tu goes, he can't have so many beasts following him."

"You——, you dare to call us beasts!" The leader's face turned red with anger, and his eyes instantly burned with blazing anger.

Damn, calling you beasts is quite polite. You bastards are worse than beasts. Shao Yan snorted coldly and said in a complimentary tone: "Master Jun, I'm sorry. I made a mistake at the moment. I didn't mean it that way."

"That's not what you mean, then what do you mean?" The leader didn't bother to listen to his explanation and shouted angrily: "Here, take all the prey in the car away from me."

"Master Jun, I can't. I'm running a small business. If you like it, I can leave some game for you. Please don't take away the skins from me." Shao Yan rushed to the car and begged.

The leader asked someone to pull him away, and said arrogantly: "General Tu has an order that all people entering the city are not allowed to bring prohibited items, especially prey. I will temporarily accept it for you. As long as you take us to Tiger Mountain,

I guarantee that the original item will be returned.”

Day, it was nice to say it, but he just told it while he was being robbed, and he kept it for a while. It was so fucking hypocritical. Shao Yan gave in half-heartedly and allowed the soldiers to steal all the prey in the car and the few animal skins. After that, he was sad.

I squatted on the ground and cried for a while

Chang Yixiao carefully helped him up, rolled his eyes at the soldiers, and said: "Shopkeeper, they are too bullying, let's go."

Yunyun stared at the smiling faces with wide eyes, and said: "Mr. sir, we don't have to be angry with this kind of people. Let's go, let's go to Marshal Tu for comment."
