A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the grain merchant man. Chen Yue had obviously gained the upper hand, but he apologized first, which was quite impressive.

If he had been a less skilled person, he would probably have turned into a corpse today, but Chen Yue was not angry at all and was calm and honest.

The woman's face was gloomy and uncertain, and Chen Yue's attitude was so humble that he couldn't reach out to hit the smiling man, not to mention that his own bodyguard couldn't hit Chen Yue.

In addition, the woman also felt that the previous scolding of Chen Yue was a bit excessive, and killing someone seemed to be a bit outrageous.

However, Chen Yue took advantage of him and refused to apologize, so he waved his sleeve angrily: "Just give this brother some face, let's drop this matter, let's go!"

After saying that, the woman walked out of the restaurant with a group of guards looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the conflict subsided, the store owner breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly smiled and asked Chen Yue and the others to sit down again, and also gave them two bottles of wine to calm their shock.

Chenyue didn't shy away from the store's politeness. He raised his hands to the man who seemed to be about the same age as him and said, "Brother, I wonder if I can show you my favor. How about having a few drinks together?"

"Okay!" The man agreed readily, and the three of them laughed and gathered at a table.

Chenyue raised a glass of wine to the man: "My surname is Chen, may I ask your surname?"

The man quickly returned the gift with his hands raised: "Your surname is Leng, Leng Guinan!"

"My surname is Xue. Thank you Brother Leng for your advice. Come on, drink!" Xue Leihan also wiped away his previous unhappiness and raised his glass and said.

Leng Guinan really didn't recognize Xue Leihan as the governor of Lingzhou. Seeing that the two of them were quite generous, he also raised his wine glass and shouted in response: "Brother Xue, you're welcome, do it!"

The three of them clinked glasses, drank the wine in one gulp, and then chatted.

The woman who left the house was walking angrily on the road. When she reached a secluded place, she turned around and cursed: "You are a bunch of trash, a dozen people can't beat one person! You are so embarrassed today!"

The guard leader's wrists were still a little bruised, and he said with an embarrassed face: "Sir, that man's skills are really not weak, and..."

"And what? Say it quickly!" the woman shouted.

The leader of the guard hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "And that man never drew his sword from the beginning to the end. If he had murderous intentions, the consequences would be disastrous."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and felt a little horrified in her heart. Faced with the siege of more than a dozen people, she didn't even draw her sword. How confident she was.

"That's all." The woman's eyes softened a little, and then she glanced at the several injured guards behind her and asked: "Is the injury serious? Do you need to ask a doctor to take a look?"

A warmth suddenly appeared in the hearts of the guards, and their heads shook like rattles.

If it doesn't work after being injured like this, then why would you have the nerve to call yourself an elite guard?

These guards naturally knew the woman's identity. Although they were a bit unruly at times, they were still nice to them along the way.

"Um, sir." the guard leader asked sarcastically: "Are we really going to the Fuzhou front line? Are there just a few of us?"

"Go! Why don't you go!" the woman said angrily. Since she had spoken out in front of Chenyue, of course she couldn't break her promise.

Then he seemed to think of Chen Yue's pig-like palm again, a blush instantly appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth angrily and stamped his feet.

The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's walk around in Lingzhou first, and then go to Fuzhou when the weather gets cooler."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a group of people rushed towards the inn where they were staying.

In the wine shop, the three of them had had a few drinks together, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious, and they were quite able to chat. Leng Guinan was a businessman, so naturally he was full of witty remarks and endless anecdotes.

Chenyue suddenly put down his wine glass and asked casually: "Brother Leng, you must have heard that I am from Liangzhou?"

Leng Guinan nodded naturally and turned his gaze to Xue Leihan aside: "This brother Xue should be a Qingyang person, right?"

After all, Leng Guinan was doing business abroad and traveled around the world, so he certainly had some experience and knowledge.

"Haha, Brother Leng is really knowledgeable!" Xue Leihan smiled slightly, not surprised at all.

Chenyue looked at Leng Guinan's young but mature face, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked: "I heard that Brother Leng's accent is from the north, but it is definitely not the Liangzhou accent. Youzhou? Jizhou? Or is it?

Hanzhou?"

Leng Guinan, who was still chatting and laughing, his eyes stagnated, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, the wine in the glass rippled, and he did not answer.

Leng Guinan's somewhat abnormal expression caught the attention of Chen Yue and the others, and they looked at him with some confusion.

As if sensing the gazes of the two people, Leng Guinan's face flashed with sadness, and he said with a hint of sadness: "Me? Haha, just a person from Liaodong who is far away from his homeland."

"Liaodong!"

Chenyue and Xueleihan were both shocked at the same time. Now they knew why Leng Guinan had a strange expression and felt a little uncomfortable.

The northern defense line of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Liangzhou and Youzhou to the west, mainly dealt with large and small nomads on the grasslands. To the east were Hanzhou and Jizhou, where the two sons of Changjia An Guogong were stationed, responsible for guarding against Beijin.

Starting from Liangzhou in the west and ending with Hanzhou in the east, the land of the four states spreads from southwest to northeast, and the terrain is winding.

There is also an extremely vast area between the east and west defense lines, which is what Leng Guinan calls his parents, which has been called Liaodong since ancient times.

Liaoning is thousands of miles away and covers a vast area. Part of the land spans between Youji and Youji prefectures, and part of it projects to the north, bordering Beijin.

From this, it can be seen that the terrain in Liaodong is dangerous and connects the two important military towns in the east and west of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but why is it not included in the northern defense line of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Just because Liaodong is no longer the territory of the Zhou Dynasty!

In the early days of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Liaodong was indeed an important border town, and there had always been many troops stationed there.

However, during an invasion by the Northern Jin Dynasty decades ago, the Zhou army was defeated, Liaodong was completely captured, and the Zhou Dynasty lost its rule.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was at the time of the change of power in the court, and there was still war on the southern border. The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was afraid of the horseshoes of the Northern Jin Dynasty, so in order to consolidate his power, he ceded the land of Liaodong to the Northern Jin Dynasty and compensated a large amount of money.

Gold, silver, jade, fine wine and beauties are equivalent to recognition of Bei Jin’s occupation of Liaodong.

This incident occurred during the Longhua period and was known as the shame of Longhua in history.

Since then, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become increasingly chaotic, with constant party disputes and strife with each other. The powerful ministers in power did not consider regaining the lost territory at all, but only cared about the power in their hands.

Occasionally, loyal people who mentioned the land of Liaodong were drowned in Manbian's gushing saliva, and this situation continues to this day.
